4. Mr. and Mrs. Williams had been married for 20 years and had
two children: Steven, 16 years
old, and Sally, 13 years old. The Williams’ initially sought
treatment for Steven, who had been
exhibiting symptoms of anger and being withdrawn around the
house for about six months after
he was nearly expelled from school. His parents expressed
concern that Steven, once mocked
for being a “mama's boy”, no longer wants to be at the house,
does not talk to either parent
about his life, and has not been observing his curfew. There
have been multiple instances of
Steven not following family rules. Upon assessment by a family
therapist, he was referred to you
for a drug and alcohol evaluation due to the discovery of his
regular substance use.
During the initial session with you, Steven reported that he is
using alcohol (3 to 4 nights per
week; at least “6 beers” at a time for the past 9 months),

5. cannabis (mostly on weekends and he
is vague about his report), and has tried “molly” (a synthetic
form of ecstasy; a few times in the
last 12 months). He admits to exhibiting angry behaviors at
home and at school when asked. He
shared recently got into a fist fight at school that led to a
referral to an alternative learning center
located at a separate school campus, which is used in lieu of
expulsion for serious infractions of
school rules. He would have preferred expulsion and home
school.
Steven stated he is concerned that his alcohol and drug use were
interfering with his
functioning. He cited a couple of recent blackouts, episodes of
fighting, and problems
concentrating on his schoolwork. Steven reported that he is not
sure if limiting or stopping
alcohol use will be possible, since his peer group spends most
of its time drinking. He says
that's what “everyone does”. He is also worried about the
damage being done to his body
because his parents made his a doctor’s appointment. His
biggest concern is that his parents

6. are not going to let him get his driver’s license if he doesn’t get
things “under control”. The
motivation to have more freedom and independence appears to
be motivating Steven’s
cooperation in the intake assessment.
After the initial session with you, Steven met with his medical
doctor to undergo medical testing
related to the impairment of his liver, cardiovascular system,
and nervous system. Steven was
medically cleared and no known physical complications (outside
of substance use) were
discovered.
