Alcohol & Drug Addiction Case Management

Case management’s fundamental objective is to assist people in locating the resources they need to become self-sufficient and healthy, whether that aim is short-term or long-term. Person involvement is critical to creating the case plan, which a case manager draws out with the assistance of the individual. Confirmation of agreement is required in most case management approaches.

While most patients may wind up on a waiting list, case managers can open doors for those who otherwise would have to wait. Their assistance in formulating a treatment strategy that incorporates several methods is invaluable.

• Detoxification-supervised detox.

• Residential inpatient care.

• Hospitalization.

• Intensive outpatient programs.

• Traditional outpatient care. 

• Family therapy.

• Housing.

• Following-up treatment and monitoring.

The person and the case manager will complete paperwork to apply for benefits after the plan has been agreed upon. Some examples include Social Security or disability benefits, Medicaid or Medicare, food stamps and insurance coverage, or charitable assistance. People may also turn to non-medical support organizations, such as churches, for help in some instances.

Clients face many difficulties as they work their way back to health. Clients may be sure that their therapy is on track thanks to the constant supervision of case managers. They also analyze the success of the programs and make appropriate modifications as people go through the various stages of recovery.
