Addiction Assessment and Intervention

How Assessments Can Help

Do I Need Treatment?

In order for clinics to properly understand a client’s history with substance abuse and the best pathway towards a healthier life, they need to undergo an assessment. Upon arrival at the clinic, clients will be screened for mental health-related issues and will answer a series of questions about their primary drug, as well as any other substances they use regularly.

We understand that substance use disorders are complex issues, and they will be recognized as such within our clinics. The stigmatization that surrounds substance abuse can be a huge barrier that prevents people from getting the help that they need. We guarantee a safe environment that is free of judgment, and we acknowledge that entering our facilities is a big first step.

Our staff is expertly trained medical professionals who understand the importance of discretion and are not permitted to pass judgment under any circumstances. Given the sensitive nature of the treatment of substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder, our staff are sympathetic to the plights of our respective patients and will remain completely objective when fostering care for our patients.

The pre-treatment assessment that our clients undergo has their best interests at heart. In order to effectively treat a substance use disorder, we need to understand some of the underlying causes of the addiction, as well as triggers that may cause a relapse. Our clients’ health is our number one priority, and each question we ask is designed to help our clients during the recovery process. The assessment is also necessary before we can provide any sort of medication to assist in the withdrawal process. We will also outline a timeline for expected withdrawal and the amount and type of therapy clients should receive.

During the assessment, patients may be asked questions such as:

Interventions

Without an intervention for substance abuse, many users will continue down the dark road of addiction. An intervention doesn’t always look like the traditional interventions you may have seen on TV or heard about on the rumor mill. An intervention is simply someone trying to help. Talking to your loved one about their drug use. Interventions can happen at your home, at the home of your loved one; we can even facilitate large-group-style interventions at our facilities. We are well trained in substance abuse disorders and can be persuasive in convincing people to seek the help that they deserve.

Intervening in substance use disorders and alcohol use disorder early on can have a tremendous impact on the outcome of the treatment. Generally speaking, with prolonged use it only becomes more difficult to cease abusing substances, so seeking help as soon as possible is highly recommended. The need for outside help to address a substance use disorder is nothing to be ashamed of, and intervening in someone’s substance use disorder can be just the impetus they need to get them started off in the right direction.

Individualized Treatment Options

The Importance of Personalized Care

Although many people’s various addiction paths may share some similarities, there is no such thing as a “typical” addiction situation. Although each of these individualized treatment regimens addresses a different aspect of addiction, they all focus on three core problems: withdrawal, physical and emotional health, and resources for aftercare. All addiction treatments are built on these pillars, which are then modified to match each client’s unique needs.
Our treatment plans for alcohol and drug addiction are a thorough, personalized road map intended to lead a person through the healing process. A group of healthcare specialists, including clinicians, therapists, and counselors, designs this plan after carefully consulting with the patient to determine their particular needs and develop a strategy appropriate for their specific circumstances.
