Mental Health Assessment

If you are in need of addiction treatment, it is important that your physician know all about any co-existing medical conditions you may also be suffering from. This is why a mental health assessment is performed with each and every drug or alcohol abuse assessment.

Why is a Mental Health Assessment Necessary?

Research indicates that over half of all rehab admissions suffer from a co-existing  psychiatric disorder. If it is determined that you suffer from a mental health disorder in addition to an addiction, it drastically changes the focus of your treatment. You will require a specialized type of care called dual diagnosis treatment. In dual diagnosis treatment, the patient receives treatment for both their addiction and their mental disorder at the same time. If one condition is treated and the other ignored, the chance of relapse is increased exponentially.

What is Learned During a Mental Health Assessment?

Through a series of questions and tests included in your mental health assessment, your physician will determine if you suffer from a co-existing mental health disorder such as:

While these are the most common mental health issues associated with alcohol and drug addiction cases, there are over 300 recognized disorders in the field of mental health medicine.

TESTIMONIALS

I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.

This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.

-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.

-- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia

You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
