Assessment Task 1
Part A:
The resources exploited for extracting the information as a counsellor for drug abuse and the
subsequent withdrawal symptoms. I extracted information from the Google Scholar and
Narcotic drugs and substance abuse book. The journals from Google Scholar are:
 Yu, L. X., Amidon, G. L., Polli, J. E., Zhao, H., Mehta, M. U., Conner, D. P., ... &
Hussain, A. S. (2002). Biopharmaceutics classification system: the scientific basis for
biowaiver extensions. Pharmaceutical research, 19(7), 921-925.
 Shah, V. P., Yacobi, A., Rădulescu, F. Ş., Miron, D. S., & Lane, M. E. (2015). A
science based approach to topical drug classification system (TCS). International
journal of pharmaceutics, 491(1-2), 21-25.
These sources give the latest therapies regarding the withdrawal symptoms. It also speaks
about the latest therapies as well as the drug classification. It gives a detailed knowledge
about the substance abuse and observable symptoms as well as the impact on the central
nervous system.

Assessment task 2
Case Study 1:
Brian was into substance abuse of marijuana. Marijuana is a depressant but it possesses the
characteristics of hallucinogen and stimulant as well. It is a cannabinoid.
The typical symptoms of marijuana abuse included red, blurry, blood shot eyes as observed in
Brian (Uhegwu et al., 2015). According to the counsellor Brian had red, blood shot and
lacked concentration on one subject for a prolonged period of time. Brian showed an increase
in appetite and munched on chips ravenously. Marijuana promotes hunger (Rowley et al.,
2017). He had thinking issue which is a behavioural change that is observed in marijuana
addicted individuals. Marijuana intoxication induces inappropriate laughter. Brian had
depicted similar signs while he was about to sign the visitor register the pen dropped from his
hand and while making an attempt to pick it up he kept laughing. Loss of interest and
motivation is also aggravated by marijuana intoxication. Poor coordination is frequently
observed as a symptom of marijuana addiction. The effect of marijuana abuse causes
sleeplessness, anxiety and depression. Brian was reported to suffer from similar symptoms of
keeping awake for long periods at night and he was also paranoid of the sounds that he had
been hearing at night.
Case study 2:
John suffers from heroin addiction. Heroin is a depressant that is an opioid drug which can
either be injected, sniffed, snorted or smoked.
The symptoms exhibited by John showed that he misses appointments and was relaxed. He
resorted to slow speaking and even exhibited slow movement. He was in a dream like state as
stated by the counsellor. He also had itching issues and was unaware of his surroundings.
There was observable weight loss. He also suffered from cold, flu and runny nose. He also
had watery eyes and aching limbs.

7Drug Classification and Preparation of Clients for Detoxification
Heroin intake makes a person feel good, happy and contented immediately after intake (Hser
et al., 2015). It induces a feeling of the individual is in a dream and may cause the individual
to think and walk slowly. Abusers intaking heroin are often anxious and have symptoms of
itching (Maas, Madea & Hess, 2018). The drug can promote nausea and vomiting (Dart et al.,
2015).
Case study 3:
Janice is into substance abuse exploiting barbiturates and other hypnotics. These drugs
belong to a class called sedative hypnotics.
Janice has problems leaving the house and seeing the counsellor, she would often cancel her
appointments, Janice is finding it difficult to sober herself and get a better life even if she
wants to. She feels her substance can only calm her down. Her anxiety level increases and she
resorts to her substance. It is only then that things try to become normal for her and she faces
the real world. She mentioned about severe depression and she felt difficulty in getting up
from the bed. She lost her balance, her memory failed, her words also slurred. She had
difficulty in placing the bag beside her and resorted to a taxi instead of taking a bus due to
lack of confidence.
Barbiturates or hypnotics are drugs that causes symptoms of drowsiness and slurred speech.
According to the counsellor Janice suffered from slurred speech (Dumps, Halbeck &
Bolkenius, 2018). Lack of coordination which is also an important symptom was observed in
Janice as she had difficulty in keeping her bag. The falls and dizziness were also seen in
Janice which is due to barbiturates abuse. Involuntary eye movement made her decide to go
in a taxi rather than bus.
Case study 4:
Dan was into cocaine addiction. Cocaine is classified as a stimulant.

8Drug Classification and Preparation of Clients for Detoxification
Dan had excess confidence and feeling of exhilaration which indicated he was into cocaine
abuse. Dilated pupils are a common symptom of cocaine or similar stimulant abuse. Dan
exhibited dilated pupils which again proved that he was into cocaine abuse (Hser et al.,
2015). Increased energy and restlessness are also symptoms of substance abuse of stimulants
like cocaine. And based on the counsellor he was in a hurry and could not complete the full
counselling session and exhibited restlessness as he was continuously fidgeting with his
chair. He was also in confusion and showed impaired judgement. He left early but he was
unable to explain the reason why he wanted to leave early. He was feeling good that day but
the previous sessions he was agitated and restless. Cocaine and the other stimulants cause
changes in the heart rate, blood pressure and the body temperature (Mandolini et al, 2018).
According to the counsellor, he was perspiring even when the room was cool and the air
condition was on.
Case study 5:
Heidi was into substance abuse of hallucinogens mostly LSD, lysergic acid diethylamide.
The observed symptoms of Heidi suggest that she is into substance abuse exploiting
hallucinogens. This is because she was in a trancelike state as observed by the counsellor.
She tried to feel the colour of the table as well and the frightening flashbacks that she used to
have on which she had no control (Dart et al., 2015). The typical symptoms of hallucinogens
drug abuse are flashbacks, trancelike state and immensely reduced perception like hearing
colours. Tremors are also a side effect of hallucinogens intake and based on the counsellor
Heidi had trembling hands which she was rubbing across the smooth laminated table
(Mandolini et al, 2018). She lacked concentration and it was difficult for her counsellor to
discuss the future plans. Restlessness is a common symptom of hallucinogen addiction. She
had her face covered with a thin film of perspiration even though she was shivering.

Hallucinogen causes raised body temperature and blood pressure. It causes fast or irregular
heartbeat. She exhibited shallow breathing also.

Assessment task 3
Part A
Shelley it is really great meeting you. I am really sorry to hear about of your state and
completely understand what you are going through. I would like to enlighten on one point
that alcohol will not help you combat your situation and instead it will hamper your health
and I believe it has impacted to some extent already. It is important for you to understand and
ponder on the fact that you have two children dependant on you. And it is of extreme
importance for you to be at proper state to ensure you can work to earn for a living not only
for yourself but for your two kids as well (Jackson et al., 2016).
I appreciate the fact that you resort to alcohol withdrawal. And also applaud that you are
eager enough and courageous to come up and seek help to get your life back in shape. It is of
prior importance not only for you but also for your kids.
Alcohol withdrawal management is very important for you since you were strongly
addicted to the substance. It is important for you to know that you will face certain side
effects in course of the treatment. The side effects may include elevated blood pressure
levels, respiration and you might feel feverish also. It is absolutely fine if it happens under
controlled level and you have a palliative care person with you (Lago et al., 2017). But you
should be alert if you have hallucinations and seizures. That is a sign of high risk and I would
suggest then you should resort to inpatient setting for withdrawal management. Else
outpatient setting should work fine for you. The care giver will regularly monitor the vital
signs.
I would suggest one more thing that when you are into the process of withdrawal
management please intake thiamine and folic acid. Because patients encounter nutrition
depletion that might negatively impact the health. And good health should be your first
priority above everything (Mirijello et al., 2015).

12Drug Classification and Preparation of Clients for Detoxification
Well, since you were quite a strong addict you will definitely have the cravings to fall
back to drinking alcohol but you should resist yourself which will definitely be a big
challenge. To combat that I would suggest that you try your level best to keep yourself
distracted and engaged in various healthy activities like engaging in physical activities by
hitting a gym. Still if the thoughts distract you remember the reason why you are actually
withdrawing yourself from the activity (Rhemtulla et al., 2016). Always think about your two
little kids who look up to you everyday for their survival and I hope that will be enough to
keep you motivated.
Part B
Managing Alcohol Withdrawal
The prolonged intake of alcohol for a time period of two weeks or greater and following
up by abrupt discontinuation of it can lead to alcohol withdrawal symptoms. The symptoms
of the withdrawal show up after six to 24 hours of the last intake of alcohol. This can affect
the individual with respect to the central nervous system, cognitive function and central
nervous system.
The severity of the withdrawal symptoms can be divided into three stages. Stage one
symptoms are mild and are not usually involved with vital signs and symptoms. Stage two
has vital signs like high blood pressure, respiration as well as body temperature. The
progression of stage 2 to stage 3 can occur comparatively faster. Stage 3 is characterised by
delirium and seizure.
 Withdrawal setting options
Outpatient withdrawal management
The outpatient treatment of mild to moderate alcohol withdrawal symptom is
comparatively cheap, safer and effective as well. It causes less interruption of the family life

13Drug Classification and Preparation of Clients for Detoxification
and professional life of the individual. But depending on the seriousness of the symptoms like
psychosis or suicidal ideation should opt for inpatient setting. Significant abnormalities in the
laboratory reports of individuals would preclude outpatient setting. The outpatient treatment
would require patients to take follow ups regularly and take oral medications as prescribed. It
would be preferable that a relative, friend or a care giver ensure proper medications of the
patient. Family support plays a crucial role in the success of the treatment of the outpatient
setting.
Patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome are seen to be nutritionally depleted and hence
thiamine (100mh) and folic acid (1mg) should be administered routinely. Nutritionally
depleted means you tend to feel weak, lethargic and fatigued reluctant to work. Therefore
proper nutrient supplements are necessary.
The withdrawal symptom includes psychomotor agitation which basically means mood
disorders and restlessness like pacing around the room, rapid talking or tapping toes and
similar symptoms. Benzodiazepines and anticonvulsants cause reduction in the psychomotor
agitation and prevents the progress of the withdrawal symptoms. The drug diazepam is
administered to prevent memory loss that may be a withdrawal symptom. It promotes sleep
and relaxation of the muscles. The administration of the diazepam should be 40mg on day 1
and day 2. The following two days an administration of 25mg and fifth sixth day would
ensure 10mg. Diazepam is time limited and not more than a week of administration (Wong,
Benedict & Kane-Gill, 2015).
Inpatient withdrawal management
If the person suffers serious withdrawal symptoms that may be seizure or delirium which
is impaired cognition and reduced awareness of the surroundings then they should resort to

14Drug Classification and Preparation of Clients for Detoxification
inpatient setting. Other physical conditions like liver disease, multiple substance
dependencies, withdrawal at home and unstable accommodation resort to inpatient setting.
 Supportive environment
This supportive care ensures monitoring of the vital signs in the individual and providing
of the necessary supplement. They ensure treatment of vitamin deficiencies and dehydration
as well. This ensures prevention of a lot of complications that occur during unsupervised
alcohol withdrawal. They ensure a quiet and comfortable environment for the patient that
includes low lighting, privacy and encouragement during the detox process. A detox diet plan
may also be crafted by physicians that is strictly followed and maintained by the care giver
(Jesse et al., 2017).
 Dealings with cravings
The urge to resort to alcohol can be triggered by external and internal triggers. The high-
risk situations are the external triggers which can be people, places, things or times of the day
that promotes or urges drinking. The internal triggers are like pop ups that can be puzzling.
The urge is promoted due to a positive or a negative thought or a physical pain.
But it is indeed a challenge to deal with the cravings of substance abuse. The thoughts
should be challenged and replaced. The thoughts should be ride out without giving in to it.
The high-risk situations should be left quickly and gracefully. Talking it through with a
trustworthy person also helps to manage the challenge. Being self-involved in healthy activity
is a mode of distraction that would aid to combat the challenge (Mirijello et al., 2015). One
should continuously keep remembering the reason of the change.

Part B
I have gone through the details of your health report and heard from you in person
regarding the issues that you are facing Harry. I appreciate your need for help to overcome
your addiction to alcohol because this is the stepping stone to recovery. I can aid you with an
organization that can really help you combat your problems. The Cabin Sydney is an
organisation that I would recommend you. The address is Suite 506, Eastpoint Tower,180
Ocean Street, Edge cliff, NSW 2027.
The Cabin Sydney is an excellent addiction treatment centre with respect to substance
addiction. They exploit the latest, in proven, effective as well as holistic addiction treatment. I
suggest you visit the organisation and have a look at it yourself. The treat clients in a very
professional manner and discretion is their mode of moving forward. Their modern effective
and innovative treatment programmes fit at ease in the lives of their clients helping to
promote success in their personal and professional lives.
The Cabin Sydney exploits an innovative addiction treatment programme that is exploited at
The Cabin Addiction Services Group’s centres worldwide. They introduce the Recovery
Zones in combination with CBT and 12 step methods. The therapies exploit group therapy
and peer-based group work as well. The treatment involves CBT and mindful meditation
also. They provide treatment for anxiety and depression also.
The best part of this organisation is that it is one of the leading outpatient treatment
centres. This will reduce your social stress and you do not necessarily have to stay there. All

23Drug Classification and Preparation of Clients for Detoxification
you have to do is just visit them at the day time and no stay overs is assured. They maintain
the confidentiality of the assessments. This will help you to maintain your family as well as
your professional life.
If you are interested you can give them a call at [phone] any of the weekdays
between 10am to 9pm. I guess for the entire scheme they might give you an estimate within
$6000. I guess it might be a little expensive but I believe you have your health insurance plan
that can aid to your problem. If still you find it challenging there other rehabilitation centres
mentioned in the pamphlet which you can check but they are distantly located comparatively
and outpatient services are not available.
