Whether you request help from your doctor, a mental health professional, or an addiction specialist, you will have to go through a substance abuse evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>A substance abuse evaluation helps inform treatment providers about your current situation so they can assess your needs and develop an individualized treatment plan. This clinical tool can evaluate the severity of your addiction, the presence of any co-occurring disorders, and your overall health.<\/p>\n<p>While this process may seem simple, it\u2019s actually fairly detailed and complex.

\/><\/p>\n<p>Drug and alcohol evaluations generally have two distinct phases: the initial screening and a more comprehensive assessment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Screening\"><\/span>Screening<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Screening can be conducted by an entry-level addiction professional or a licensed counselor\/mental health specialist. This step is meant to determine whether or not you have a problem with drugs or alcohol in the first place. If the answer is \u201cno,\u201d you may be referred to a different type of care. But, if the answer is determined to be \u201cyes,\u201d you\u2019ll move into the second phase of your evaluation: the assessment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assessment\"><\/span>Assessment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Assessments are conducted by a licensed professional such as a doctor, nurse, therapist, or social worker. This step is more thorough as it defines what type of substance abuse problem you have, how severe the problem is, and what your unique treatment needs are going to be. The assessment is used by the clinical team to craft an individually-tailored <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/addiction-treatment\/\">treatment program<\/a> that gives you the best chances at sustained sobriety.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Screening_Used_During_Substance_Abuse_Evaluations\"><\/span>Types of Screening Used During Substance Abuse Evaluations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The screening portion of your assessment may happen in person, over the phone, or online. It is usually brief and fairly quick. There are various tools used for drug and alcohol screenings, such as:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Substance_Abuse_Subtle_Screening_Inventory_SASSI\"><\/span>Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>SASSI is a popular self-reporting screening tool to evaluate people who struggle with drug use disorder. It helps identify people who can benefit from substance abuse treatment. SASSI is usually conducted like a structured interview.[1] You will simply have to answer the questions you are asked honestly and thoroughly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAGE_Questionnaire\"><\/span>CAGE Questionnaire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CAGE is one of the most widely used questionnaires to assess peoples\u2019 relationships with alcohol. You may be asked the following questions, such as:[2]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>C &#8211; \u201cCut down\u201d on drinking<\/b>: Do you feel, or have you ever felt, the need to moderate your alcohol intake\/stop drinking?<\/li>\n<li><b>A &#8211; Annoyed by your drinking:<\/b> Are your friends, family, and loved ones frustrated with your drinking patterns?<\/li>\n<li><b>G &#8211; Guilt about drinking:<\/b> Do you feel guilty about your drinking habits?<\/li>\n<li><b>E &#8211; Eye-opener:<\/b> Do you need to take a drink when you first wake up to cure a hangover or to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/alcohol-withdrawal-and-detox-programs\/\">withdrawal symptoms<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"State-Specific_Screening_Tools\"><\/span>State-Specific Screening Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some states have their own screening tools that may be used in addition to or in place of SASSI and CAGE. These screening tools may vary by state.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Assessment_Tools_Used_During_Drug_and_Alcohol_Evaluations\"><\/span>Types of Assessment Tools Used During Drug and Alcohol Evaluations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Assessments provide a more in-depth look at your drug and alcohol use. This part of a substance abuse evaluation helps the clinical team identify patterns relating to your substance abuse, diagnose possible mental health conditions, and understand the type of care you may benefit from.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diagnostic_Interview_Schedule-V_DIS-V\"><\/span>Diagnostic Interview Schedule-V (DIS-V)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>DIS-V is a structured assessment tool that determines whether or not you have a mild, moderate, or severe substance use disorder by referencing the DSM-V. The DSM-V outlines 11 criteria of drug and alcohol use disorders.[3] Although the criteria are very specific, the details you provide during your interview can give the clinical team valuable insight into your treatment needs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Addiction_Severity_Index_ASI\"><\/span>Addiction Severity Index (ASI)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ASI is a semi-structured interview that examines seven specific areas of your life, including:[4]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Medical status<\/li>\n<li>Employment and social support<\/li>\n<li>Drug use<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol use<\/li>\n<li>Legal status<\/li>\n<li>Family\/social status<\/li>\n<li>Psychiatric status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This information can provide the clinical team with a comprehensive look into your current health status and your individual treatment needs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_Court-Ordered_Substance_Abuse_Evaluations_Different\"><\/span>How are Court-Ordered Substance Abuse Evaluations Different?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most people who enter treatment and have a drug and alcohol evaluation do so voluntarily. However, a judge can order an evaluation through a state-certified agency if a person\u2019s legal case involves drug or alcohol use. A few types of criminal charges that may result in an evaluation include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Public intoxication<\/li>\n<li>Distribution (selling drugs)<\/li>\n<li>DUI\/DWI<\/li>\n<li>Minor in possession<\/li>\n<li>Disorderly conduct<\/li>\n<li>Possessing a fake ID<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Court-ordered evaluations go through the same process as voluntary ones do. If you are subjected to a court-ordered substance abuse evaluation, you may feel embarrassed or ashamed, but it is still important that you answer all questions honestly and fully. The more honest you are during your evaluation, the more effective your rehabilitation will be.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Your_Substance_Abuse_Evaluation_Today\"><\/span>Start Your Substance Abuse Evaluation Today<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Has drug or alcohol abuse taken over your life?
