With particular consideration of the substance abuse and/or mental health implications: 1. What symptoms of grief are commonly exhibited? 2. What facts surrounding the death of a loved one makes recovery more difficult? 3. What other questions would you ask a client to help in your clinical decision making? 4. What type of treatment would you recommend? 5. What are some of the chemicals that a client who experienced grief might start abusing, depending on her family heritage, life experiences, or level of grief? State your assumptions and interpret the situation accordingly.
