A short-term goal that can be identified for a client completing his fourth alcohol detoxification program in one year is that the client will:
1. Develop a treatment relationship with another client.
2. Identify constructive outlets for stress.
3. State that he sees the need for ongoing treatment.
4. Use denial and rationalization in a healthier way.
3
Rationale: In order to prevent relapse, the client must seek ongoing treatment after detoxification. Denial and rationalization are overused defense mechanisms in substance abuse. Treatment relationships are diversions which keep the client from focusing on his own treatment. Stress management is something that can be accomplished in ongoing treatment.
