Have you found yourself wondering whether you drink too much?
Have you tried to quit several times without success?
Have friends or your partner made comments about your drinking or substance use?
Then you may benefit from a substance use screening or assessment.
Substance alcohol use (like mental health) is classified on a spectrum from abstinence to abuse to dependence.
Screening is a preliminary tool that attempts to determine whether key features of substance or alcohol abuse are present in an individual.
An assessment is a thorough evaluation designed to definitively establish the presence or absence of a diagnosable alcohol or substance abuse problem and determibe where someonefalls on that spectrum. The results of the assessment also suggest what is likely to be the most appropriate type of treatment and options can be tailored to each individual.
