Admission
Assessment
An individualized, comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment of the patient’s substance use disorder, shall be conducted or updated by credentialed staff who are knowledgeable about addiction treatment.
This assessment is used to confirm the appropriateness of placement.
Individual Service Plan
We provide an individualized treatment plan, which involves problems, needs, strengths, skills, priority formulation, and articulation of short term, measurable treatment goals, preferences, and activities designed to achieve those goals. The plan is developed in collaboration with the patient and reflects the patient’s personal goals.
