Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tertiary prevention is the correct stage for intervention in Bill's case because it focuses on managing and rehabilitating individuals who have already developed a disorder or disease, such as substance abuse, to prevent further deterioration and complications. Given Bill's history of drinking since a young age and multiple DUI convictions, interventions at this stage aim to reduce the impact of his already manifested alcohol problem and prevent further legal and health issues.
