Once a full assessment is taken, client needs
are assessed and a treatment plan is drawn together where
length, type and intensity of
treatment are determined with a team of professionals.
When assesing whether or not someone has a drug or alcohol
problem treatment professionals are best to help to determine
to what degree or if at all a person has a drug or alcohol
dependence that deserves professional treatment. It is important
that a full assement be taken by a trained and qualified
couselor. While most people have a very firm belief in what
deems use, misuse and abuse, the lines are very clear and
are best determined when a full client history can be taken.
The sociological background, psychological makeup, educational
and work history, family and marriage difficulties and medical
issues all have to be taken into account and weighed carefully
against specific criteria that determine the prevalance of
a chemical dependency problem.
In many cases where all of these factors and histories can
be documented and reviewed by a counselor, the need for screening
inventories does not weigh as heavily, but in the short term
can give the professional a good idea of whether a chemical
dependency issue is at heart of the clients' problems.
