Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The answer refers to the need for ongoing treatment after detoxification and is the best goal related to controlling relapse. The scenario does not provide enough information to know whether anger has been identified as a problem. A trusting relationship, although desirable, would not help the patient maintain sobriety.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Naltrexone is useful for treating both opioid and alcohol addictions. As an opioid antagonist, it blocks the action of opioids; because it blocks the mechanism of reinforcement, it also reduces or eliminates alcohol craving.
