Evaluations

Beyond Addictions provides thorough evaluations for the purpose of diagnosing drug and alcohol abuse and dependence. Anyone who suspects a problem of their own or a family member can arrange for this service to determine if addiction exists and what can be done about it.

Standard Evaluation

Standard evaluations of substance abuse are typically completed in a few hours. Evaluations include assessment of alcohol and drug use, mental health issues, and a physical examination with blood and urine tests.

Buprenorphine Evaluation

Buprenorphine is used as a treatment option for people with opioid addiction such as heroin and other pain medications. Buprenorphine is found to have a lower abuse potential, less withdrawal discomfort, and is in most cases safer than other treatment options. The Buprenorphine evaluation determines the suitability of Buprenorphine as a treatment option. We may recommend using Buprenorphine for detoxification or for maintenance therapy of opioid addiction.

Professional Evaluation

Evaluations of licensed professionals and executives are more extensive due to licensing bodies and employer involvement. These evaluations may require more than a day and also include psychiatric and psychological assessments, gathering of collateral information and, when necessary, collaboration with the identified referent.

Relapse Evaluation

A relapse evaluation will determine the extent of a relapse and provide a variety of customized interventions to assist clients back into recovery.
