Substance Use Disorder Assessment
A substance use assessment is for those who are interested in exploring how substance use impacts their relationships, mental health, and daily functioning or those engaged in a legal process where one is required or requested. These assessments are recognized and accepted by MN courts, probation officers, attorneys, treatment centers, and case managers. A thorough evaluation is conducted by a licensed drug and alcohol counselor focused on providing treatment recommendations. The assessor will give you personalized recommendations that match the determined level of care needed, which may include mental health services, harm reduction strategies, and/or community resources.
What to Expect:
Prior to being scheduled, you will be given questionnaires to complete through the online portal. A one-hour interview will be scheduled and conducted to complete the assessment. Additional information may be gathered from collateral contacts to ensure a quick and supportive process. Records that may be requested for the assessment include medical records (including current medication information), relevant legal records, and biographical records. A second session may be utilized to finish the assessment, give feedback, and offer individualized recommendations.
