What will be an ideal response?
You are an addictions counselor in private practice. You have referred a client to an intensive treatment program based on his history of binge drinking, as a person with an alcohol dependence problem.

a. the pastor has no right to become involved in a substance use assessment. b. the MAST is relatively insensitive to binge drinking patterns. c. the client probably has been honest with the pastor about his or her drinking pattern, so the pastor’s concerns are well placed. d. the pastor should complete a separate, comprehensive, substance use assessment.

All of the following are true of formal assessments except that they
A. have no standard method of interpretation. B. have no standard way to compare one person's scores with those of others. C. have known reliability. D. are usually free of charge.
