The statement "Clients must always hit bottom to be ready for treatment" is:

Absolutely true
Partly true
Absolutely false
Partly false

The correct answer is: Absolutely false

The statement "Clients must always hit bottom to be ready for treatment" is considered absolutely false because it assumes a one-size-fits-all approach to readiness for treatment. In many cases, individuals can be open and willing to seek help before reaching a crisis point or "hitting bottom." This perspective fails to recognize that people may recognize their need for assistance in various ways and at different stages in their lives. Readiness for treatment is highly individual and can be influenced by personal insight, support systems, and other factors that do not require someone to experience a significant low point. Moreover, relying on the belief that one must hit bottom can discourage individuals from seeking help earlier, which can lead to prolonged suffering or deterioration of their situation. Therefore, it is essential to understand that seeking treatment can happen at any stage, and effective interventions or support can be beneficial before a crisis occurs.
