The Importance of a Professional Drug Assessment

As stated earlier, the clinical assessment phase is of the utmost importance when entering drug rehabilitation or an alcohol addiction treatment program. During the initial drug assessment, the physician will ask the patient a series of questions and perform a number of medical examinations to help diagnose the severity of the patient's addiction. This will help the physician learn more about the types of substances the patient has been using and thus, enable the physician to develop a workable strategy for treating the patient.

Dual Diagnosis Clinical Assessment

One of the things physicians look for during their clinical assessment of a patient is whether or not the individual exhibits any signs of mental illness or other health risks or concerns. This is very important because when a patient has both an addiction and a mental disorder, treatment for the dual diagnosis can often become complex and as such, needs to be handled differently than someone facing just an addiction. In addition, it also gives the treating physician a good understanding about the medical needs of each patient.

Clinical Assessment and Detox

At Freedom Rings, the licensed physicians are experts in clinical assessments. Because of this advantage, each patient receives an individualized detox and rehabilitationprogram. Whereas one patient may require opiate detox another may need a prescription drug detox or dilaudid detox.
