Miranda Palmer Substance Abuse Counseling March 19, 2002 Interviewer: Steve Lynn Dominguez Married 4 kids 28 Lynn Dominguez is a twenty-eight year old woman married with four children. The Department of Employment and Training (DET) has referred her for a positive drug test showing high levels of Vicodin. The client could not produce a prescription in her name to account for the levels. The client attends the drug and alcohol assessment as a condition of her Tanf Grant but does not believe she has a problem. Her husband is the provider of the medication that she takes. She generally minimizes the use of the Vicodin, and forgets how much she takes. Her use of Vicodin led to poor job performance, and the employer suspected drug use. She cannot continue through DET unless she ceases her use of a non-prescribed drug. She is unwilling at this time to see her drug use as affecting her life in a negative way. Furthermore, her husband is physically, verbally, and sexually abusive to her on a regular basis. She has no history of prior violent relationships.
