Assessments & Evaluations
ICDA
The Initial Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment (ICDA) is used to provide an image of your history and is a valuable diagnostic tool. The insight gained is used to identify your mental health struggles, individual strengths, family strengths, and services needed.
ASAM
The ASAM Criteria is the most widely used and comprehensive set of guidelines to help determine the best level of care for a person's substance use disorder at the time of the assessment, accounting for their need for medical oversight and safety. The ASAM criteria can be used at entry into treatment and during transitions to different levels of care on the continuum.
DUI Evaluation
These assessments, typically court ordered, help determine if a driver that has been arrested for a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) has a substance abuse problem, and whether or not they should be placed in a treatment program.
GAIN
The Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) assessment measures the scope of issues related to substance use disorder and the utilization of services. It is most useful during the first steps of treatment and as a mile marker for progress.
