Injury:

This gentleman was referred to Medical & Rehabilitation for case management as he had been out of work intermittently due to alcohol addiction and had received treatment for this. However, he subsequently was diagnosed with depression and was again frequently absent from work. His employer wished to support him with these issues and referred him to MR for further assistance.

Rehabilitation:

A file was opened for this gentleman and the Case Manger contacted him on the same day. His consent form was received four days later. The Case Manager proceeded to arrange counselling therapy with a specialist in Alcohol and Addiction Counselling and updated his GP of same.

The Case Manager liaised regularly with him and his Counsellor and both parties reported that progress was continuously being made. He completed 4 sessions of counselling therapy in all. This gentleman remained in work throughout his counselling therapy.

This file was referred for closure as he reported that he had received substantial assistance on how to deal with events and no further treatment recommendations were suggested.

The Benefits:

Medical & Rehabilitation’s involvement in his file enabled this gentleman to receive specialised Counselling therapy for both his depression and alcohol addiction whilst continuing to work. The company reported that the employee’s level of absence had decreased substantially and he reported that he was better able to concentrate with activities in work and deal with matters as they arise. The employer was perceived as being supportive, while protecting their employee’s confidentiality.

For this gentleman, he now has an established network of relevant service providers should he require further treatment in the future.
