 Goals:

• Reduce or eliminate substance use

• Improve overall functioning and wellness

• Build skills necessary for long-term recovery

• Support safe, healthy decision-making

Northern Pines Counseling provides substance use evaluations for individuals referred by probation, parole, attorneys, or other legal entities. These evaluations are conducted in accordance with applicable state standards and professional guidelines and are intended to assess substance use patterns, related risk factors, and treatment needs.

The evaluation process typically includes a clinical interview, review of relevant legal or referral information, standardized screening and assessment tools, and consideration of psychosocial, medical, and behavioral factors. When appropriate, collateral information may be reviewed with proper authorization.

Following completion of the evaluation, a written report is prepared that includes clinical findings, diagnostic impressions when applicable, and recommendations for treatment, education, or other services as indicated. Evaluations are conducted objectively and independently; completion of an evaluation does not guarantee any specific outcome or recommendation.
