Is Your Child in Trouble with Drugs? Step One, Get a Screening and Assesment

A screening and assessment is used to get a complete picture of your child’s relationship to drugs to make sure that they will be referred to the right level and type of treatment.

The assessment should be conducted by a certified addiction professional , an Addictionologist, or a doctor who is accredited by the American Society of Addiction Medicine, (ASAM). Problems with addiction are a specialized field and a specialist should be used.

The important part is to make sure you are not operating on emotion alone and are working in conjunction with a trained professional who can assess the degree of the problem and lay out the steps necessary in your child’s care.

An assessment helps determine:

  1. How severe your child’s problem is
  2. The level of treatment the child needs (e.g. early intervention, outpatient, intensive outpatient/partial hospitalization, residential / inpatient services and
  3. The types of services the child needs

amednews: How Charlie Sheen's meltdown could affect patient care :: March 14, 2011 ... American Medical News

Occasionally, news reports of out-of-control celebrities spur an increase in interest and admissions as more people seek treatment, said Robert R. Johnson, DO, medical director of Sierra Tucson, an addiction and mental health treatment center in Tucson, Ariz.

But celebrities who have gone public about their treatment have the most positive impact encouraging others to seek help. Some examples are Betty Ford's battle with alcoholism and drug dependency and Patty Duke's honesty about her bipolar disorder, he said.

"When people in the public eye own [up to] their struggles with depression, mood cycling or substance abuse, it has led to both heightened awareness and a greater openness for treatment within the general public," Dr. Johnson said.
