Personalized Guidance for Drug & Alcohol Addiction Recovery

At Addiction Recovery Consulting Services, we believe that lasting recovery starts with understanding the whole person—not just the addiction. Our Assessment & Evaluation services provide families, friends, and employers with a clear and compassionate path forward when a loved one is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction.

Whether you’re unsure how serious the issue is or need a professional recommendation for treatment, our evaluations deliver clarity, direction, and immediate next steps—all handled with respect, urgency, and care.

What Is a Substance Use Assessment?

Our comprehensive addiction assessment evaluates the physical, emotional, and behavioral patterns behind a person’s use of alcohol, prescription medication, or illicit drugs. It also screens for co-occurring mental health conditions, trauma, family dynamics, and more—all essential factors in choosing the right treatment path.

This process allows us to determine:

  • The severity of substance use
  • Any co-existing disorders (dual diagnosis)
  • Current readiness for change
  • Family or work-related consequences
  • The best treatment or intervention approach
