Alcohol Abuse Assessment

For many people suffering from alcohol, the line between alcohol abuse and full blown alcoholism can become blurred. Both situations require immediate help, but understanding the severity of your condition can help you prepare for treatment. In this case, an alcohol abuse assessment can help.

The Two Types of Alcohol Abuse Assessment

There are two types of alcohol abuse assessments - one that's conducted over the phone with a trained counselor and one that is conducted in person by a physician at your chosen rehab center. Both are of equal importance.

Over the Phone Alcohol Abuse Assessment

When you speak with a counselor at a rehab center over the phone, they will conduct a type of interview with you. It is important that you answer the questions honestly. During this alcohol abuse assessment, your counselor will help identify whether or not you are suffering from addiction to alcohol or from alcohol abuse. The information you provide will also help them guide you in the right direction as far as treatment is concerned.

Alcohol Abuse Assessment at Rehab

When you are admitted into a rehabilitation center, you are given another, much more involved alcohol abuse assessment by the doctor who will be overlooking your treatment. Again, there will be a series of questions that you need to answer honestly as well as a complete physical and mental examination. The data that's collected during your assessment will be the motivating factors in your customized treatment program.
