  9. Care Cluster 3: Severe dependence (without complex needs) • Assessment / Engagement / Motivational enhancement: Use AUDIT, SADQ/LDQ and units per day to determine level of dependence followed by history taking and discussion about current circumstance to determine level of risk and the presence of co-existing problems recorded by use of HONOS/SARN. Comprehensive assessment (including medical/psychiatric assessment) will be necessary. Deliver motivational enhancement as part of the assessment stage to promote engagement and retention in treatment. • Care Planning / Care co-ordination and Case management: These individuals should receive at least monthly follow-up for at least 12 months, usually more frequent in first 3 months. • Withdrawal management: Most likely, withdrawal management will require inpatient care. Post withdrawal assessment of mental health issues and cognitive function should be carried out. • Psychosocial interventions: A package of 12 weeks of CBT based treatment in the context of a day treatment programme lasting 8-12 weeks should be offered. Residential rehabilitation of up to 12 weeks may be required for those who do not benefit from outpatient treatments. • Pharmacotherapy: For relapse prevention, acamprosate or naltrexone (or disulfiram if indicated) should be offered for up to one year. This should be delivered in conjunction with psychosocial interventions in a comprehensive package of care • Aftercare / Reintegration / Recovery: Encouragement should be given to engage in self-help groups such as AA or SMART Recovery. Referral to employment services, assistance with housing and benefits may be required.
