Relate therapists and counselors offer chemical assessments for adolescents and adults who want to better understand how chemical use is affecting their lives. Assessments are typically a one-time appointment with a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL ASSESSMENTS

For adults and adolescents

Relate’s Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors (LADCs) accept referrals for Chemical Health Assessments from other Relate clinicians and from the larger community — families, schools, courts, or from anyone who might be concerned about the impact of alcohol or drug use on their own or someone else’s functioning. The assessment typically consists of a semi-structured interview, completion of detailed questionnaires about patterns and consequences of use and contact with concerned persons to gather other perspectives. The LADCs compile and integrate the information to provide a final report with diagnostic considerations and recommendations, if any, for various levels of treatment. A Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor will complete a full chemical dependency evaluation to determine the level of the client’s chemical use and will make recommendations based on their findings.

To schedule a Chemical Dependency Assessment and for cost and payment options, please call the Intake Coordinator at Relate Counseling Center 952-932-7277. Relate does not offer Rule 25 assessments.
