Assume the client has severe alcohol use disorder because they drink most evenings

Confront the client about being dishonest
Ask a family member to answer sensitive questions for the client

Conduct an immediate suicide risk assessment, involve supervision, and implement safety procedures
Wait until the next session to see if the statement continues
Focus on relapse prevention because suicidal thoughts are outside AOD counseling
Question 5
A client seeking admission reports daily heavy alcohol use and says they had a seizure the last time they stopped. What should the counselor prioritize?
