When planning care for a client newly admitted to an inpatient mental health unit for treatment of a gambling addiction, the initial intervention to maximize the client's success for recovery would be to:

a) Provide education about the risks and consequences of gambling addiction.
b) Facilitate participation in individual or group therapy sessions focusing on coping strategies and relapse prevention.
c) Administer medications to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and improve concentration.
d) Encourage the client to engage in recreational activities to distract from worries about the future.a
