An assessment is an important first step to the therapy process. This can help to offer a diagnosis, while identifying any issues that may affect the patient’s recovery and the best road to get there. A professional mental health assessment can also add to the understanding of the family and loved ones that may be dealing with their own trauma over the situation. At Campbell Recovery Services we offer assessments for incoming patients that then allow us to plan the best course of treatment and therapy to help the individual. Through these assessments we can gather the information that is so critical on this journey to a healthier and happier life. Armed with this information we can offer the best chance at success in our program.
By assessing a client’s mental state, Campbell Recovery Services can design the most effective course of treatment. Through the assessment, trained professionals can get a better understanding of the patient. This can include any past trauma that may need to be addressed and concerns that may be brought up during the therapy process. Equipped with this initial knowledge, Campbell Recovery Services’ can offer the best chance of success in our program.
Depending on the patient’s behavior and needs, this may consist of a standardized or non-standardized assessment. A standardized assessment is a more formal process that allows for scoring and interpretation to provide the most accurate analysis possible. Non-standardized assessments consist primarily of clinical interviews over time that allow the trained professional to offer a diagnosis and recommendations for proceeding with treatment.
Assessments can help to determine not only a mental health diagnosis, that perhaps before went unrecognized, but this can also help to identify triggers in patients that are struggling with addiction or healing from abuse. The information ascertained through a quality assessment is one of the most important tools in these initial steps.
