Psychological Assessments
Social workers are often called into situations to evaluate what their clients continue to require, such as:

• Different or additional treatment programs
• If they are ready for discharge from a variety of institutions and programs

Group and Individual Therapy
Social workers provide treatment for both outpatient and inpatient settings. They work with people who have substance abuse issues and mental health issues. They also work with those who have disabilities and physical infirmities. Those who typically need the help of a social worker are those who have an onerous financial burden. It is always the social workers’ goal to assist clients with becoming integrated into the social network for the first time or again, to live productive lives pleasantly.

Discharge Planning
Social workers help clients make the arrangements they need for their well-being when they are discharged from:

• Day-treatment programs
• Hospitals
• Prisons
• Substance-abuse treatment facilities

Living Situation Evaluations
Non-profit agencies or government offices often hire social workers to investigate if the client is suspicious of spousal, elder, or child abuse.

Navigating Government Agencies to Receive the Assistance they Require
Social workers assist clients with the sometimes complicated process of finding supportive or inexpensive living accommodations. These situations often come up when finding appropriate treatment programs for clients who require a clinical setting for substance abuse or mental health issues and finding long-term facilities for clients with chronic illness.
