What is typically discussed during the orientation core function?

During the orientation core function, the focus is on setting the stage for the client’s treatment journey. This involves discussing essential information such as the rights of clients and treatment costs. It's important for clients to understand their rights in the therapeutic process, which ensures that they are informed about what to expect and their entitlements in the treatment environment.

Additionally, discussing treatment costs helps manage client expectations regarding financial commitments and ensures they are aware of any potential financial barriers they may face during their treatment. Ensuring that clients are informed about both their rights and the costs associated with treatment is a fundamental aspect of orientation, as it fosters a transparent and supportive therapeutic relationship.

In contrast, the other options relate to more specific areas of treatment. Specific treatment methodologies, medical history, and past therapy outcomes are typically addressed later in the assessment or treatment planning stages, rather than during the initial orientation. The primary goal of orientation is to equip clients with the foundational knowledge they need to engage effectively in the treatment process.
