A) Increased regular dose of an antianxiety medication
B) Using a "buddy" system where members support each other outside the group

Through using the visual methods, the individuals were able to distance themselves from the problem and decrease the feeling of being overwhelmed. They were able to be more objective and develop an action plan. Medication, daily visits, and having trash companies visit would not be helpful for this client and may make the problem worse.
