Heres the deal...I need to hand in a Diagnosis, Intervention and Evaluation type note and need some advice on how to phrase it. I had a patient which is a homeless white male, alcoholic, smoker, quit heroin about a year ago...has family support though....and has full insight into his situation as well as a desire to escape it. What diagnosis does he get? I was thinking something along the lines of altered growth and learning since he started drinking at the age of 12. Any help would be greatly appreciated
