How to Study This Category

Shortcuts and frameworks that make questions in this category click faster.

  1. 1

    Therapeutic responses acknowledge feelings and stay open-ended. Avoid false reassurance, why questions, and closed-ended answers.

  2. 2

    Always assess safety first for suicidal ideation — ask directly. Never leave a high-risk client alone.

  3. 3

    Know withdrawal timelines: alcohol (6-48h), opioids (8-24h). Recognize DTs (life-threatening) vs opioid withdrawal (uncomfortable).
