You and Ben have been friends since you met in physical therapy school. Following graduation you both took positions within a local clinic. Lately Ben has been going through a difficult and emotional divorce. At work he has begun to act erratic, often talking a mile a minute and at other times appearing withdrawn and quiet. You wonder if he has begun to abuse drugs.
One day Ben confirms your fears when he tells you that he needs to take pills to go to sleep and that he takes others in the day to stay awake. He feels that he is not abusing the drugs in that he has prescriptions for all of them provided by a variety of physician friends. He asks you as his friend not to tell anyone and tells you that he will be able to get a handle on his problems once the divorce is settled.
The next morning during report, Ben appears to fall asleep. After report, your supervisor, who knows that you and Ben are friends, comes to you and asks, “What is the matter with Ben?” How do you respond?
