Drug and Alcohol Assessment
A drug and alcohol assessment is a tool used by a trained professional to help determine if an individual has a drug or alcohol addiction, assess the extent of substance use or addiction, determine if there are other co-occurring disorders such as a physical or mental health condition, determine a diagnosis, and develop treatment recommendations. At Harmony Bay, we offer an extensive drug and alcohol assessment along with appropriate and effective treatment.
When taking part in a drug and alcohol assessment, doctors are trying to gauge the status of your addiction. Before treatment can begin, it is vital for your treatment team to know how to address your addiction. Jumping in with no knowledge of the situation could lead to unproductive treatment. We follow a process to ensure that we can properly build out a plan in order to get the best possible results out of your recovery. Some of the early steps include:
- Assessment in a private setting with a caring and compassionate professional
- Assessment will include an interview and a variety of screening tools
- Development of an individualized treatment plan based on diagnosis
- Ease of access to drug and alcohol services onsite
During a drug and alcohol assessment at Harmony Bay, doctors may ask questions such as:
- Extent of past and present use of drugs and/or alcohol
- The extent that drugs and/or alcohol have impacted various areas of life
- Family history of substance abuse
- Mental health symptoms
- Physical Health Conditions
- We ask these questions so we can give you the best and most effective treatment we can give you
