Psychological Services

The psychological effects of drug abuse can vary depending on the type, quantity and longevity of substance(s) used. Some individuals may experience mild side effects such as anxiety or confusion.

Alternately, long-term drug users might suffer more significant repercussions from drug abuse such as hallucinations or schizophrenia, so a thorough psychosocial evaluation is provided.

Each patient seeking drug and alcohol treatment has their own potential physical health challenges. Our doctors assess whether our patient is suffering any physical illness, independent of, or as a result of substance abuse.

Our clinicians address medical problems early on, providing treatment to enhance recovery and to prevent serious medical complications.

Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations determine whether other co-occurring psychiatric disorders are present. Our clinicians look for psychiatric illnesses or symptoms of co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD and fully address these problems in our patient’s care.
