Substance Abuse Evaluation

How much has drug or alcohol abuse negatively impacted your life?  A professional substance abuse evaluation can assess your situation and shed light on the extent substance abuse has affected your mind, body and spirit. You may be surprised at just how widespread the effects of substance abuse have become.

At Stepping Stone Center for Recovery, we provide our patients with individual treatment programs that involve a comprehensive mix of strategies designed to help you reach long-term recovery.  Upon admission to our treatment center, you'll be given a complete substance abuse evaluation.  This clinical evaluation involves:

• Medical assessment – A physical examination to assess your overall health.
• Psychiatric assessment – As part of your substance abuse evaluation, our board certified psychiatrist will meet with you to determine if there are any underlying mental health issues in addition to the drug or alcohol abuse.
• Clinical interview – Our staff will gather information about your substance abuse history and patterns, family history, legal problems and more.

A Substance Abuse Assessment Provides Treatment Direction

Our initial substance abuse evaluation will give us a "big picture" view of your specific situation. We employ several substance abuse assessment tools that help us in this screening process. By gathering this vital information we can customize a treatment plan based on your specific needs. For example, if our psychiatrist uncovers that you are also suffering from a mental illness, we have dual diagnosis treatment capabilities and can treat both the mental illness and the substance abuse simultaneously.  A substance abuse evaluation gives our team the direction we need to provide you with the best treatment possible.
