- Complete substance use history and patterns
- Medical history and current medications
- Mental health screening for dual diagnosis
- Family and social support systems
- Personal goals and preferences for treatment
This evaluation helps us create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. Most assessments take 30 to 60 minutes and can be completed over the phone or in person at our Placerville facility.
