Using Countifs with Cells Containing Multiple Values

I am trying to setup a formula that counts how many times a certain option is selected from a dropdown list. In this dropdown you are able to make multiple selections. And this is where I am having Issues.

I was able to use:

=COUNTIFS({Drop Down List}, Option@row, {Week}, Week$2)

to count how many times the option is selected in the column, but only if it was the only selection. Is there a way for me to get this formula to look for option 1 in a cell with multiple options selected?
