PS508 Case Study
CASE STUDY: Charlie
Charlie is a co-worker who has worked as an addiction counselor with the agency for 22
years. You notice that Charlie takes long lunch breaks and recently you have noticed
the smell of marijuana in Charlie’s office. When you asked Charlie about the smell,
Charlie shares the following:
“The only way I can get through the day is a relaxing lunch. I am sick of this thankless
work anyway and believe it could drive anyone to drink. Clients are not looking at the
real issues. They are more focused on their identity than their substance use and
continue to make excuses about not being accepted. No one really recovers anyway.”
You mention that you recently attended a wellness workshop and a diversity workshop
sponsored by NAADAC. These workshops helped you understand the value of self-care
in addiction counseling and to understand multicultural populations. You even earned
continuing education credits for attending the workshops.
Charlie discloses that they do not attend those workshops because they are a waste of
time.
