Question

Your manager asks you to see a client who appears to be decompensating. He has stopped coming to the center, and his wife asks you for assistance. She says that he is not eating, sleeps all day, and rarely gets out of the house. He is talking gibberish to himself and mumbles profanities. She is afraid that he may harm her or their 3-year-old child. She further tells you that she thinks he may be doing drugs but does not know which ones. She says that the last time he was like this, he attempted suicide through overdosing on his psych meds. He takes Ritalin for adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Explain in detail what ways Cognitive Behavioral Therapy would help this client?

What benefits would this patient receive by going to an Intensive outpatient treatment after the patient has been released from a facility?
