A dual diagnosis screening at our facility is a comprehensive, confidential first step designed to look at your health as a whole. Unlike a standard drug assessment that might only focus on substance use patterns, our screening evaluates both substance use disorders and potential co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously.
During this process, which typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, you can expect the following:
- Clinical Interviews and Questionnaires: You will meet with a licensed counselor or nurse practitioner to discuss your substance use history, including types of substances, frequency, and duration. We also use validated screening tools to identify symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma.
- Holistic Evaluation: We believe in treating the whole person, so we explore physical, emotional, and social factors that impact your well-being. This includes discussing your medical background and current symptoms.
- Integrated Recommendations: Because we use an evidence-based and holistic approach, the results help us recommend a personalized treatment plan that addresses both mental health and addiction concurrently. This might include options like Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), individual therapy, or group therapy.
- Immediate Guidance: If you visit us for a walk-in assessment in Easton, you will leave with a clear treatment recommendation the same day. We also provide transparent insurance verification during your visit to ensure you understand your coverage upfront.
It is important to remember that while this screening is a vital starting point, it is an initial assessment and not a definitive diagnosis. You are not alone and this is not the end of your story.
