Professional, evidence-based substance abuse evaluations that provide accurate assessments and guide effective treatment planning for lasting recovery.
A comprehensive, evidence-based assessment that evaluates an individual’s substance use patterns, behaviors, and treatment needs to determine the most appropriate level of care and intervention strategies.
A substance abuse evaluation is a thorough clinical assessment conducted by qualified professionals to understand the extent and impact of substance use on an individual’s life. This evaluation serves as the foundation for developing personalized treatment plans and determining the most appropriate level of care.
Our evaluations utilize evidence-based assessment tools and follow established clinical guidelines, including the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria, to ensure accurate and comprehensive results.
The evaluation process examines multiple dimensions of an individual’s life, including substance use history, mental health status, medical conditions, social support systems, and motivation for change.
