Case management is a significant auxiliary service for those with addictions. It can often increase the likelihood of the client being successful in recovery from his or her addiction. The case management assignment is an opportunity for you to think through a clinical case, identify strengths and areas of improvement, consider the key issues that need to be addressed and prioritize these, determine specific case management needs and strategies for addressing these, identify what staff and additional agencies will be needed, and explain how these will be evaluated to determine if the current case management plan strategies are working.
