CIP CIP Intervention Models & Techniques 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: The Johnson Intervention Model is characterized by:
- A structured, confrontational approach using a rehearsed team of concerned persons (Correct answer)
- A gradual, non-confrontational invitation process
- Individual therapy sessions before any family meeting
- A motivational interviewing framework with no confrontation
Correct answer: A structured, confrontational approach using a rehearsed team of concerned persons
The Johnson Model uses a structured, rehearsed confrontational approach where a team of concerned persons present documented consequences of the client's substance use.
Question 2: The ARISE Intervention Model differs from the Johnson Model primarily in that ARISE:
- Involves the client in the process from the very beginning (Correct answer)
- Uses a larger team of concerned persons
- Focuses exclusively on adolescent populations
- Requires anonymous reporting before the client is contacted
Correct answer: Involves the client in the process from the very beginning
ARISE is a non-confrontational, invitational model that includes the client as an active participant from the initial phone call.
Question 3: Motivational Interviewing (MI) contributes to CIP practice primarily by:
- Providing techniques that honor client autonomy and resolve ambivalence about change (Correct answer)
- Replacing the need for family involvement in interventions
- Offering a rapid confrontation method for highly resistant clients
- Providing a diagnostic framework for substance use severity
Correct answer: Providing techniques that honor client autonomy and resolve ambivalence about change
MI techniques help CIPs honor client autonomy and work with ambivalence about change, complementing more directive intervention approaches.
Question 4: In the Systemic Family Intervention approach, the substance use problem is viewed as:
- A symptom of dysfunctional family system patterns that maintain the disorder (Correct answer)
- Solely the individual client's responsibility to address
- A disease that affects only the identified patient
- A crisis requiring immediate separation from family influences
Correct answer: A symptom of dysfunctional family system patterns that maintain the disorder
Systemic family approaches understand substance use disorders as embedded in family system patterns, requiring family-level change alongside individual treatment.
Question 5: A 'concerned persons' group in intervention practice refers to:
- The team of family, friends, and colleagues assembled to participate in the intervention (Correct answer)
- A peer support group for family members of people with addiction
- The clinical team at the treatment facility
- A professional consultation group of CIPs reviewing a case
Correct answer: The team of family, friends, and colleagues assembled to participate in the intervention
The concerned persons group consists of carefully selected family members, friends, and colleagues who will participate directly in the intervention.
Question 6: When selecting concerned persons to participate in an intervention, the CIP should AVOID including:
- Anyone who is actively using substances or cannot commit to following through on consequences (Correct answer)
- The client's adult children if they are emotionally supportive
- Professional colleagues who have documented performance concerns
- Friends who have known the client for less than five years
Correct answer: Anyone who is actively using substances or cannot commit to following through on consequences
Individuals who are actively using substances or who cannot authentically follow through on stated consequences undermine the intervention's effectiveness.
