Include the tool here (not just the DSM criteria) and answer it to the best of your ability for this patient. Remember to include a diagnostic screening tool besides the DSM, not a withdrawal tool.

6.). What Concurrent Physical Conditions would you assess for, and how would you assess them? Include only physiologic potential issues here.

9.). What pharmacotherapy would you consider or recommend for the patient after acute detox needs are met, if any?
