Assessment

DWI & Substance Abuse Screening is provided through a two-pronged approach employing both a SASSI assessment and psychosocial to clarify the degree to which a substance abuse disorder may be present. Follow up recommendations are communicated to legal counsel with the intent of bringing the matter to a functional resolution as efficiently as possible.

 

Mental Health Evaluations are commonly conducted in the format of either a psychosocial or psychosexual assessment in order to look at the combined factors that psychological and social factors may have on an individual’s physical and mental wellness and general ability to function. When appropriate, more detailed information may be included such as police reports, victim statements, prior treatment records, school records, court interviews and empirically validated risk assessments.

 

Home Studies are conducted to assess the ways in which a parent or caregiver can contribute to the physical, emotional, and social development of children. Such reports commonly require more extensive background checks and interviews of various parties in order to give a thorough report.

Child and Adolescent Needs Assessments (CANS) are provided to children in the custody of DFPS in order to fulfill screening requirements and to clarify treatment needs for children entering foster care. Annual re-assessment services are also provided.
