Before explaining the role and importance of assessment and diagnosis in case conceptualization and treatment planning, assessment, diagnosis, case conceptualization and treatment planning should be defined. According to Erford (2010) assessment is the systematic gathering of information to understand the issues that bring people to counseling. Diagnosis is the identification of a problem that becomes the target of the counseling intervention.

Advocates in the human services field are vital, they help clients set goals, educate clients about their rights, and provide access to resources through information.

My personal approach to advocacy for the homeless would start with increasing community awareness. This involves property owners, local government, and business owners.

We all have different likes and dislikes and we have different outlooks on life. All this and more is what makes us unique individuals. It’s these differences that will affect how we deal with certain situations, our openness and why we have resistance to certain thoughts or ideas.

In an inpatient or an outpatient program, the characteristics of a program are often a significant determinant of the outcome of a substance abuser’s treatment. While the effects of these characteristics are not usually evaluated quantitatively, many observers feel that differences in the outcome of treatment can be positively linked to, among other important factors, the quality of the therapeutic staff (Anglin & Hser, 1990, 396). Each stage of counseling interventions should effectively prepare clients to move toward the next stage and work toward preventing regression. Relapse, according to Levin, Culkin, and Perrotto, is inevitable for addicts if they do not have effective “maintenance-stage work” (2001, 271). A counselor needs to be able to correctly evaluate the current stage of a client in order to appropriately intervene.
