Substance Abuse Assessment

Substance abuse assessment is a process used by healthcare professionals to determine if someone has a problem with drugs or alcohol. This evaluation typically includes interviews, questionnaires, and possibly physical exams to understand the individual's substance use patterns, health impacts, and emotional well-being. The goal is to identify the severity of the issue, any co-occurring mental health conditions, and the best treatment options. A thorough assessment helps create a personalized plan to support the individual's recovery and long-term health.
