Stacy – Scenario 3

Stacy, 35 years old, was referred to therapy by her child protection worker.  Stacy is the mother of 3 children. They are all in the process of being returned to her care after she successfully graduated from a CD treatment program.  While in treatment, Stacy was diagnosed as having Cocaine Dependence and Cannabis Abuse.  Her child protection worker wonders if she also might have a mood disorder.  Last week her child protection worker went to Stacy’s apartment at 2:00 p.m. and Stacy was still sleeping.  Stacy has been sober for 3 months after 10 years of frequent use.
