Addiction Assessment Near Palm Springs, California
Clarity is critical
What Is an Addiction Assessment for Drugs and Alcohol?
An Addiction Assessment is a comprehensive approach to determining if an actual Substance Use Disorder-SUD exists, and if so, what is the extent of the current problem. This can only be accomplished by a team of highly trained and licensed professionals experienced in assessing SUD. Addiction is defined medically as a Substance Use Disorder, and its symptoms can vary from mild to severe, depending on the overall impact to major life areas such as family, health, work, finances, and overall functioning. An accurate Addiction Assessment is the foundation for a successful treatment experience.
Why Is an Assessment for Substance Abuse Important?
The importance of an accurate addiction assessment is that it enables the SolutionPoint professionals to develop a targeted individual treatment plan addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual issues present. Without an in-depth addiction assessment, recovery specialists may not be able to advise the optimal treatment for the client.
The benefit of selecting the right clinical assessment tools for addiction treatment allows the treatment team to form a more comprehensive view of the client’s current state, and determine what issues can be realistically addressed during the residential phase of treatment, and what issues are more appropriately deferred to aftercare. These insights direct clients toward the best therapies, medications, and health resources to strengthen the potential for sustained recovery.

Psychiatric evaluation: Used to identify potential mood disorders and mental health issues
