A multi-disciplinary support team met to discuss intervention strategies for a client, David, who is seeking support to overcome alcohol addiction. During the session, several members of the team made suggestions, which were recorded on a whiteboard. These suggestions are summarised in Table 3 below.
| Suggestions recorded by the team |
|---|
| 1. "Give him the medicine that makes him violently ill if he drinks alcohol." |
| 2. "Get him to practice how to politely decline drinks at social events." |
| 3. "Have him use the drug that blocks the 'buzz' of drinking so it feels pointless." |
| 4. "Help him identify his trigger times, like Friday nights, and find other activities." |
| 5. "Pair the thought of his favourite beer with a highly unpleasant, nauseating mental image." |
Discuss one or more ways of reducing addiction. Refer to the suggestions in Table 3 in your answer.
