Also reported consuming 8 units of alcohol over a 4-hour period ending 2 hours prior to presentation. Triggers identified include recent job loss and an argument with his partner. Stressors related to financial difficulties and social isolation were also noted. Risk Factors: Identified risks include acute overdose risk due to polydrug use, impaired judgement, and potential for severe withdrawal given the recent alcohol and methamphetamine use.

Mood: Anxious, irritable. Affect: Labile. Thought content: Preoccupied with regret over relapse. No evidence of paranoia or hallucinations. Insight: Partial insight into the impact of substance use but struggles with impulse control. Judgement: Impaired, as evidenced by recent substance use. Orientation: Oriented to person and place, disoriented to time. Immediate Interventions: * Medical stabilisation initiated: Vital signs monitored, offered oral rehydration. * Brief counselling provided focusing on immediate safety and harm reduction strategies. * Safety planning discussed, including securing a safe environment and identifying support persons. * Engagement with family initiated to inform them of the situation and coordinate support. Plan and Follow-Up: * Referral to emergency department for comprehensive medical evaluation and acute withdrawal management due to polydrug use and potential complications. * Discussion held regarding inpatient detoxification services; patient expressed openness to public sector rehabilitation. * Follow-up appointment scheduled with community clinic addiction counsellor within 72 hours post-discharge from ED. * Harm reduction measures discussed, including safer use practices and overdose prevention (naloxone education provided).
