Assessment & Diagnostic

Your behavioral health assessment is a one-on-one meeting where we take the time to understand you and what you’re going through. Your voice matters, and you play the main role in this process.

During the assessment, we’ll talk about your experiences, your strengths, your needs, and your goals. We’ll also go over your personal and medical history and how you’re doing day to day.

We’ll check on your safety and look at everything together to better understand what’s going on. From there, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your needs and helps you move forward.

You’ll start this service after an assessment shows you may be dealing with mental health or substance use challenges. Within your first 30 days, we’ll work with you to create a personalized plan called an Individualized Recovery Plan (IRP). This plan can be updated as your needs change.

Your plan is built around you your goals, your strengths, and what recovery looks like in your life. That could include things like getting a job, feeling more stable, or managing symptoms better.

Our team will use information from your care to make sure your plan supports all areas of your life.

We’ll work together to:

• Focus on your most important needs
• Set clear and realistic goals
• Track your progress over time
• Choose the right services to support your success
• Plan for your future and next steps

You’ll also have the option to create an advance directive, where you can share your preferences for your care.

Throughout this process, you are in control. We’re here to support and guide you as you move toward the life you want.

A diagnostic assessment is a meeting where a clinician takes the time to understand your mental and physical health. You'll talk about your history, how you've been feeling, and how you're doing day to day. They'll look at your mood, thoughts, and behavior, and check for any physical health issues that may be connected. If substance use is a concern, the may also look at how its affecting you.

The goal is to understand what's going on and decide what kind of care will help you the most. This may also include lab work or other tests if needed. The assessment can be done in person or through telehealth, and it helps guide your treatment moving forward.
