Step 1: Review (Estimated Time: 15 minutes)
Read the following case study:
Abby is a 38-year-old woman who arrives at the emergency room with the following symptoms: trembling hands, cold sweats, rapid breathing, and an obvious state of anxiety. Upon evaluation, Abby states that she has been an alcoholic for several years and that, due to a highly stressful situation, she relapsed three days ago. Since then, she has stopped drinking abruptly.Her medical history reveals two previous alcohol withdrawal episodes requiring hospitalization, with the last occurring 18 months ago when she completed a 30-day inpatient rehabilitation program. She has been attending weekly support group meetings until six weeks ago when work pressures increased. Abby lives alone.
She reports experiencing increasingly severe morning tremors over the past year that temporarily improved with alcohol consumption, suggesting progression of her physical dependence despite periods of sobriety. She expresses motivation to resume treatment but fears losing her recently promoted position as a marketing executive if she requires extended absence for rehabilitation.
