Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Most clients with crack dependency need inpatient care because of both the intensity of drug cravings that crack provides and the severity of the postintoxication psychological crash that occurs during withdrawal. Day hospitalization is another alternative that offers many of the advantages of inpatient treatment at lower costs.
