If you are questioning whether or not you may be struggling with addiction, taking the first steps can often be the hardest. At Behavioral Health Clinic, we are here to help you explore those questions through personalized testing services for substance use concerns. After testing, our team can also help guide you toward the support and treatment you need, including personalized counseling services.
It all begins with an assessment:
An assessment for substance use concerns plays a crucial part in; determining if you are experiencing addiction, understanding your unique needs, and determining the best path forward. These assessments are valuable in uncovering underlying conditions that may contribute to substance use disorders. By identifying areas of need, the assessment can also help guide the development of a personalized treatment plan and determine the appropriate level of care that is needed.
What is an assessment for substance use concerns:
An assessment for substance use concerns is an objective assessment that consists of a questionnaire and interview conducted by a licensed professional. The assessment follows a consistent format, with the same set of questions and scoring method for everyone. This ensures results that are based on factual evidence, rather than personal opinions, and provides reliable, consistent outcomes. After the assessment process is completed, a diagnostic impression can be developed to determine whether or not a substance use disorder is present. If substance use disorder is identified, its severity — mild, moderate, or severe — can also be assessed. This diagnostic impression is developed by using evidence-based information collected during the assessment, and uses diagnostic criteria to determine the diagnosis.
What’s next:
After testing is completed and a diagnostic impression is developed, the next steps can be determined. If it is determined you may benefit from counseling, Behavioral Health Clinic also offers personalized counseling services for substance use concerns that aim to meet each client’s specific needs. No matter your needs, we are committed to matching you with providers who align with your needs and preferences, and who will support you on your journey toward recovery.
