Rico works for a large agency that has recently obtained a contract to work with veterans who are serving in isolated regions. His newest client is a retired veteran with three small children. She struggles with alcoholism and has been mandated to counseling by the court for a recent DUI. She self-isolates and she does not enjoy contact with people. She consumes up to 10 drinks per day. Her children are in school until the early afternoon, and then they are alone with her until their father arrives home from work in the early evening. Rico’s client has active combat experience, but she refuses to talk about her service or any symptoms related to it. The closest face-to-face counseling option is 2 hours away, and she no longer has a driver’s license.
