San Diego Substance Use Assessor

The goal of San Diego Substance Abuse Assessors is to accurately determine your substance abuse treatment needs and guide you to the appropriate level of treatment, which may include treatment. They’re located in San Diego, California. They provide therapy in addition to assessments, and if you require a level of care they don’t offer, they will help you get in touch with an appropriate provider.

A deep dive SUD assessment, like those done here, looks at multiple factors to determine which level of care is right for you. This includes potential dual diagnoses and any barriers you might experience during recovery to ensure you get proper support and care.

Bridging Gaps for the Incarcerated

When someone’s substance misuse results in incarceration, getting substance abuse treatment early can break the chain of abuse and reincarceration before it begins. Prisons and jails don’t always have in house substance abuse treatment programs, but this location regularly reaches out to find those who are justice involved due to drug or alcohol abuse. If they meet requirements, they can receive an assessment and possibly get placed in treatment. 

Intervention Assistance

If you have a loved one who refuses to see the extent of their addiction, an intervention can help. With professional help from the staff at this facility, an intervention can be staged that illustrates your loved one’s need for care without being confrontational. In many cases, someone can be placed into a treatment program immediately following an intervention.

What I like about this program is that it can be personalized, much like treatment. If your loved one has experienced increased medical issues or is suffering at work, for example, the intervention can be viewed from that lens to make it more relatable. Their personalization, combined with staff’s professional experience, creates a safe and accepting environment for an intervention to take place.
