Financial:

Legal:
There are no indications of past legal issues.

Motivation for Treatment:
Her parents are seeking treatment for her because they believe she needs help. However, she does not perceive her Adderall use as problematic and is reluctant to seek treatment. She feels that Adderall is necessary for her to function effectively.

Clinical Assessment:
The client, a 17-year-old female high school senior, comes from a low-income family. Her parents care about her well-being and have sought treatment for her. She is currently using Adderall, a prescription-only medication, to manage her academic workload, though she does not have a prescription for it and is obtaining it illegally from school. Her diagnosis is substance abuse of a non-prescribed prescription drug, Adderall (DSM-5). According to the ICD-10, the code for substance abuse is F19 (ICD-10).

The client is currently in denial about her need for treatment. Although she has good intentions for using Adderall, aiming to excel in school, she has become dependent on the drug to get through her day. Despite having a supportive family, her friends are also using Adderall. The pressure to be popular and meet high standards is causing her significant stress.
