Addiction Evaluation

Addiction Evaluation

One of the hardest steps one must take when seeking to conquer their addictions is understanding just how much that addiction has affected their lives. That’s why having an addiction evaluation by professionals is so important.

An Addiction Evaluation is the First Step in Getting the Help You Need

Addiction to alcohol or other substances profoundly affects individuals in many different ways. These addictions damage not only the person’s physical health, but also their interpersonal relationships, their careers, and their overall well-being. It often takes a significant length of time to fully understand just how much the addiction might be affecting one’s life. That’s why it’s so essential to consent to an addiction evaluation.
Sometimes, another perspective can help the individual understand the extent of the hold their addiction has on their life. One needs to recognize the dangers that they might be exposing themselves and their loved ones to. The earlier you seek treatment recommendations, the sooner you’ll be able to prevent more harm to yourself, your health, or the well-being of your friends and family.
When seeking an addiction evaluation at the Kentuckiana Center for Addiction Medicine, rest assured that we specialize in providing every patient with a comprehensive assessment that considers their substance use, abuse, and addictions. Whether you are an addicted individual, or you are a loved one or family member, we can help. We also provide services for those who have been required or requested to seek treatment by educational institutions or the justice system.
We understand that seeking an addiction screening and committing to treatment is a daunting prospect for both the individual that requires it and those in their lives. We work hand in hand with our clients and their loved ones to provide them with the most effective and least disruptive treatment plan possible.

How an Addiction Evaluation Can Help You Find the Way Forward

Experiencing a drug or alcohol addiction, or watching your loved one experience an addiction, can be extremely painful. This reality is especially true because many people—including the addicted individual themselves—do not understand what addiction means.
It’s even more difficult because addiction can manifest differently in different individuals. We’re able to conduct a drug addiction assessment that can help our professionals gain a deeper understanding of how substance use and abuse is affecting a particular client in all aspects of their life. We seek to understand how their use of substances is affecting them in terms of medical care, personal relationships with family and friends, how it’s affecting them financially, and how it might be affecting their professional life as well as their mental health.
Addiction assessment services might be required by health professionals, licensing boards, or legal programs. We can perform an official addiction evaluation that will satisfy the requirements set forth. Our multi-disciplinary team of experts is ready to offer you a comprehensive evaluation based on years of experience. Our tests are known for their high levels of reliability and validity. The tests ensure that our clients receive the care they need. They deserve to conquer their dependence on whatever substance or substances they use.

Your Individual Needs Matter

Our patients come first. That’s why we make a concerted effort to get to know each client as an individual. We work with our clients, their families, and their friends. We can develop a treatment plan tailored to the individual needs that will help them obtain the recovery they’re seeking. We understand that addiction treatment is not easy and that there’s no “one-size-fits-all” method to achieve it.
A well-designed, individually-customized drug addiction treatment plan can mean the difference between succeeding or failing at treating substance use disorder. That’s why we offer three levels of an Addiction Evaluation ensuring that our treatment plans address your individual needs.

Level One: Clinical Evaluation with a Qualified Physician

Your physical health is paramount, so we begin our process with an evaluation by a physician experienced with addiction. This evaluation will address addiction, toxicology, and acute psychiatric aspects of the addiction. You’ll receive a full report detailing the results of this evaluation.

Level Two: In-Depth Psychiatric and Addiction Medicine Evaluations

Our recovery coaches will review the initial clinical evaluation and recommend the next steps necessary to record and understand your full history with addiction and recovery. We’ll start to outline the significant steps required to craft a multi-faceted treatment plan that will address your specific issues and needs.
We gather as much information as possible so that we can provide our clients and other interested parties with a multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary report. The report includes a tailored treatment plan created by professionals that have determined the best possible route to success for our client.
At the Kentuckiana Center for Addiction Medicine, we understand that success isn’t achieved through cookie-cutter methods. Each client is unique, and each of their experiences with addiction is also unique. We address the unique experiences and needs of each client so that they can achieve recovery.
