Family History and Background and Biopsychosocial
John is a 17 year old who just graduated high school and is presenting to a local hospital with his dad to be admitted for detox and treatment for opioid use disorder. John has a history of substance use in his family, specifically his mother and uncle, who both used opioids. John has many positive social supports in his life with his father at home, 12 year old sister, and older cousins who were a few years older than him who lived nearby and were all going to college locally or working full time. John planned on starting college in the upcoming fall to study sports marketing. John has not been in contact with his mother since he was 12 years old due to her substance use. John has always been a good student who usually got A’s all around throughout elementary and middle school and high school up until his senior year where his grades started to fall off just slightly to B’s. He was always very social, always hanging out with friends, and he even was on the football team. During his senior year he started to go to parties with friends and his parents, specifically his father took notice of it. His father did not give him a hard time about it until his grades started slipping and this is when John became a little more precautious about how much he partied. John’s good friend started to smoke a lot of marijuana after the football season and John joined him. John’s father picked up on this as sometimes his friend would come over smelling like marijuana. John’s father did not say anything because he did his fair share of smoking and partying in high school and did not want to give them a hard time. John’s friend was not going to be going to college and was on the verge of being kicked out by his single mother. John’s friend started selling marijuana to make money to be able to stay at home and would often give some to John; this escalated to more profitable drugs to sell like pills and cocaine. John’s friend would often sample the drugs before selling them to make sure they were high quality to sell and encouraged John to do the same. This unfortunately led to John wanting more of a high and asking his friend to find him some better stuff, which his friend provided him with heroin laced cocaine. This took place over the course of a couple of months starting a little before graduation, now only a few weeks away from starting classes his first semester at college, John was fully enveloped with using substances and using almost everyday. This led him to start to experience withdrawals which at first his father did not notice because he was often working and not home often and when he did notice he just thought he was sick. It was only after his little sister found him shaking from the withdrawals and woke their father up that he realized what was going on. Then and there John’s father confronted him about his drug use, which John admitted to, and said that he wanted help to stop. The next morning they went to the hospital to check John into treatment.
Father noticed withdrawal symptoms, recommended dbt training once admitted into hospital
