Evaluation & treatment planning

Your treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your problems, needs, strengths, and resources. You will discuss your life, medical background, and substance abuse history. You will also take a standardized test to determine the severity of your drug and alcohol issues and take a drug screening test. This information will help you and your counselor develop a treatment plan. This will identify your goals, develop a plan to reach them, and create a timeline for treatment.
