All WEvolve clients receive a thorough Comprehensive Assessment by the treating clinician(s). This procedure typically involves 1-3 interviews with the client and/or the client’s guardian to obtain comprehensive background information. This includes precipitating events, the nature of the problem, the ongoing active stressors, a family history, medical history, drug history, past placements, active strengths, and work or school history. Standardized assessment tools as well as a host of other standardized psychometric measures will be utilized as indicated by regulations and client needs.
Case consultations are conducted as a component of all clinical services and may occur as a distinct service with schools, courts, state agencies, community programs and/or various professionals of other agencies involved with the care of the client. WEvolve works on a strong macro-systemic philosophy that relies on the active involvement of the provider in the various social systems of the client.
This is a process that takes place between an individual and the treating clinician(s). The goal is to assess whether or not an individual’s alcohol and/or drug use is a problem. It provides a brief intervention that educates the individual, family members, and others on the nature and extent of the individual’s alcohol and drug problem, in addition to professional treatment recommendations that can assist in obtaining education and therapy around alcohol and/or drug issues.
