Learning Objectives
Some people are addicted to substances that must be imbibed or ingested in some manner so they physically enter the body, but some individuals are addicted to behaviors and experiences, which trigger something inside them already. In this Case Study, viewers are taken on a journey as the patient tells a story that begins with hope and promise but ends with deceit, danger, and helplessness. Learners listen to the patient justify his actions and attempt to set himself up for another chance to make things right while considering what would really be the best course of action for him.
