[B]

A chronic alcoholic receives acupuncture treatments as adjunctive therapy to individual and group counseling. In two years, he remains alcohol-free. What statement could you make about this situation?
 
  A. The rates of relapse are so great with alcohol addiction. Two
  years of sobriety cannot be considered a success.
  B. Individual and group counseling in combination yield more
  effective results than one type of counseling alone.
  C. The patient must have been highly motivated, because
  acupuncture and counseling would not produce such results
  without medication.
  D. Acupuncture may produce naturally-occurring substances in the
  body, such as beta-endorphins, that may help the alcoholic feel
  good enough not to drink.

Question 2

A client who successfully detoxified from alcohol is ready to begin outpatient services. You suggest educational/psychoeducational resources, individual counseling, and group therapy in AA.
 
  She insists
  that therapy in a spiritually-oriented support group is not for her
  because she is an atheist. What do you tell her first?
  A. She does not need to attend any form of therapy that makes her
  uncomfortable.
  B. Some atheists and agnostics have successfully recovered
  through AA, and she might, too, or she might try SMART
  instead.
  C. You would not have suggested group therapy in AA if you did not
  think it would help her. She needs to try it.
  D. As an atheist, she should not attend a spiritually oriented
  mutual-help support group.
