Crises Intervention Paper
The United States is in the middle of an opioid epidemic according to the experts, “An
estimated 10.3 million Americans aged 12 and older misused opioids in 2018, including 9.9
million prescription pain reliever abusers and 808,000 heroin users” (NIH, 2019). To most

or school, lack of personal hygiene, weight gain or loss, sleep habits are altered, mood changes,
and withdrawal from family and friends (Cherry, 2020). There are several things a client can do
in the middle of a crisis but the most common is reaching out for help and finding support.

listening to the client, make referrals, and follow up with the client (Cherry, 2020).
