What Level of Care is Right for Me?
Drug and alcohol addiction treatment isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. People require individualized treatment to help them reach their unique goals and address specific issues.
Finding the right level of care is essential. Before starting treatment, you must undergo a substance abuse evaluation. This evaluation will explore the severity of your substance abuse. It consists of questions regarding your mental health history, family history of addiction, general health, and other relevant factors.
A substance abuse evaluation can identify issues that may complicate detox and treatment. It can also help your treatment team determine which level of care and types of treatment may be most effective for you.
