Substance Use Evaluation
First Step Toward Recovery
Knowing where to begin when seeking treatment for substance misuse can be confusing. KVC’s Substance Use Evaluation program makes it easier to find treatment for people ages 12 years and older. With the support of a Substance Abuse Coordinator, clients will take the first step toward recovery and gain access to valuable treatment resources within their own communities.
About our Substance Use Evaluations
Clients served by this program are matched with a Substance Abuse Coordinator who will conduct a thorough evaluation with the client before recommending a treatment plan. Evaluations are supported by standardized, rapid assessment tools that are credible to courts, probation officers and case managers. After a completed evaluation, clients will have access to 24/7 on-call support until they begin treatment.
With a secure environment and non-biased, here-to-help approach, our goal is to make the evaluation process as safe and convenient as possible. These evaluations are completed in the comfort of the client’s home or out in the community—wherever the client is most comfortable. This eliminates any transportation barrier that may prevent individuals from seeking treatment. Evaluations will always be scheduled on days and times most accessible for clients.
During evaluations, a client and their coordinator may discuss:
- Drug and alcohol use
- Health information
- Mental health status
- Education
- Peer relationships
- Legal issues
- Work and/or school
- And more
