After completing chemical detoxification and a 12-step program to treat crack addiction, a client is being prepared for discharge. Which remark by the client indicates a realistic view of the future?

(A) "I am never going to use crack again"

(B) "I know what i have to do. I have to limit my crack use."

(C) "I am going to take one day at time. I am not making my promise."

(D) "I will substitue crack for something else"

The correct answer is letter "A": "I am never going to use crack again".

Explanation:

People who abused drugs or alcohol and who went into a detoxification program are released only when specialists consider there are good possibilities that person will not fall under the same vice again. Otherwise, the patient will need a longer admission time until that person is aware of the consequences that might bring the continued abuse of drugs.

In that case, the best remark of an ex crack addict upon release from a detoxification program is "I am never going to use crack again".
