Behavioral Health: Substance Use
Substance abuse treatment starts with an alcohol and drug assessment.
This is the same no matter who has referred you for services. You may be court-ordered; your attorney may have suggested it; your doctor or a family friend may have told you that you need help. Maybe you are just tired of dealing with your drug or alcohol issues. A better life can start now.
Substance Use Screening Assessment
The Substance Use Screening Assessment is an evaluation to help you find the right level of care for your alcohol or drug addiction.
