Answer to Question 1

The major goals of treatment for substance abuse are detoxification, initiation of abstinence, and prevention of relapse. Ensuring the patient's safety during detoxification is a priority over compliance with treatment. Taking ownership and providing CNS stimulation are not priority goals.
