The provision of information to individuals and groups concerning alcohol and other drug abuse and the available services and resources is called __________.

• A. Evaluation
• B. Client Education
• C. Case Management
• D. Referral

Answer: (B)

Providing information to individuals and groups about alcohol and other drug abuse and the services and resources available is client education. This function focuses on increasing a person’s knowledge about substances, their effects and risks, and the treatment and support options that exist, so they can make informed decisions and actively engage in their recovery. It’s different from evaluation, which involves assessing needs and progress; case management, which coordinates and advocates for services; and referral, which directs someone to resources. Client education is an ongoing process that can occur in individual counseling, group sessions, or community settings, using clear language and relevant materials to cover treatment modalities, how to access services, what to expect in treatment, crisis resources, and relapse prevention strategies.
