Biopsychosocial
Biopsychosocial assessments help determine the nature of the challenges faced by the adults, children, adolescents and families we serve.

The results of this assessment is utilized in developing an individualized treatment plan.
Comprehensive Child and Family Assessment (CCFA)
The Comprehensive Child and Family Assessment, completed on behalf of the Department of Family and Children Services, is used to gather information from the family, caregivers, foster parents, prospective placement resources and other important parties. The gathered information is used to assist with developing a case plan, determining the needs of the child(ren) and family, and identifying services that would help assure safety, permanency, and the overall well-being of the child(ren) and family.
Home Evaluation
Home evaluations are completed to determine an appropriate placement for children to live when they are removed from their home. The assessment, typically of the child(ren)’s biological family, determines if the placement will be a secure, safe, and permanent environment for the child(ren) . The evaluation also addresses whether the caretaker is able to ensure the well-being of the child(ren) and meet the child(ren)’s needs.
Nursing Assessment
Nursing assessments provide a plan of care that identifies the specific needs of our person served and how those needs will be addressed by the skilled RN and other clinic staff.

Measurements such as The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) and the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-4 (SASSI-4) are used to identify the potential problem areas and the probability of substance abuse.
