Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Assessments
The Assessment Process organized around 12 specific steps in the assessment process. Through these steps, the counselor seeks to accomplish the following aims:
- To obtain a more detailed chronological history of past mental symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and impairment, particularly before the onset of substance abuse, and during periods of extended abstinence.
- To obtain a more detailed description of current strengths, supports, limitations, skill deficits, and cultural barriers related to following the recommended treatment regimen for any disorder or problem.
- To determine stage of change for each problem and identify external contingencies that might help to promote treatment adherence.
