Pdf Summary

The case study focuses on a 19-year-old university student who is seeking treatment for her opioid use disorder. She has been using opioids intranasally for the past 15 months, with daily use for the past 3 months. She is experiencing withdrawal symptoms when she doesn't use opioids and has run into financial problems due to her drug use. The student has not attended the prescribed relapse prevention workshop or counseling sessions.<br /><br />In the initial treatment plan, the student is prescribed buprenorphine/naloxone film strips at 4 mg/day for 6 days. However, she returns 3 days later having taken 8 mg/day instead. The clinic is unable to accommodate her, and she does not return for 4 weeks.<br /><br />At this point, it is important to reassess the treatment plan. The student is using more opioids and has dropped out of school. A good plan would be to provide more intensive support, such as increased counseling and close monitoring. It is crucial to address the student's financial difficulties and potential access to opioids in her new environment.<br /><br />Overall, the treatment goals for this case study would be to reduce or discontinue opioid use, improve her academic and financial situation, and provide comprehensive support to address the underlying issues contributing to her opioid use disorder. The initial treatment plan should involve regular counseling sessions and potentially adjusting the medication dosage based on her individual needs.
