According to the MH/SA risk category, the client states low behavior health and low physical health, which is in quadrant 1. A client wanting to learn and find alternatives to substance use would be in quadrant 3. If she wanted to learn but did not want to work on it, then she would be classified in quadrant 2. If she was not interested in changing but wanted to find alternatives to her substance use, she would be classified in quadrant 3.
