COMPONENTS OF OUR ASSESSMENT

  1. Comprehensive Interview: During the assessment process, individuals will engage in a thorough interview with one of our experienced clinicians. This interview covers various aspects of their substance use history, including patterns of use, triggers, cravings, and any co-occurring mental health issues.
  2. Assessment Tools: We utilize validated assessment tools to gather additional information about the individual’s substance use and its impact on their life. These tools help us gain a deeper understanding of the severity of the problem and guide our treatment recommendations.
  3. Medical Evaluation: Substance use can have significant physical health implications. Therefore, our assessment includes a medical evaluation to assess any potential medical complications or underlying health issues related to substance use.
  4. Psychosocial Assessment: We also explore the individual’s psychosocial functioning, including their relationships, employment, housing, and legal status. Understanding these factors helps us develop a holistic treatment plan that addresses all aspects of their life.
  5. Collaborative Approach: Our assessment process is collaborative, involving the individual as an active participant in their care. We encourage open communication and provide a supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to share their experiences and concerns.

Based on the findings of the assessment, our clinicians will work closely with the individual to develop personalized treatment recommendations. These recommendations may include various levels of care, such as outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient programs, or residential treatment, depending on the severity of the substance use disorder.

The place is great. The staff is excellent. My counselor was Collette and she is great at helping you in your recovery. It is such A wonderful group setting and all the staff truly want you to succeed in life.
My experience here has been wonderful. The staff has gone out of their way to provide a welcoming, comfortable recovery environment. I would recommend anyone seeks help for chemical dependency seriously take a look at the program they offer.
My experience here was a great one. I have been to other treatment facilities, AA, and out patient help centers. This one was by far my best experience to date. The director of this program was nothing but helpful from the first time I reached out to him. The councilor was empathetic versus sympathetic and a great listener. This place felt like no other place I have ever been to before. The atmosphere was an intimate yet open place of peace. I felt comfortable right away. The fact that they do not make you introduce yourself as an addict was one of my favorite things about it. Instead of the usual "My name is ____, and I’m an alcoholic"… you introduce yourself and *the reason you are there*. I would recommend this program to anyone who is struggling with addiction and does not want to be shamed for it. Very informative group with intent of helping you.
