Adolescent Services

 

Adolescent assessments involve much more than determining the last time an adolescent drank or how much marijuana was used... LCADA recognizes that the success of an individual's treatment depends upon an understanding of the emotional, behavioral, environmental, and family context in which that use took place.

Therefore LCADA's assessment process involves:

• Clinical interviews with both the adolescent and the parent

• Client and parental questionnaires and checklists

• Diagnostic testing

• Urine drug testing as needed
