A whole-person assessment.
Every treatment plan starts with a three-pillar assessment. We don't reach for a prescription pad until we understand the whole picture.
Biological
What's happening in the body.
Family history, co-occurring medical conditions, autoimmune & metabolic factors, and how substance use is affecting — or being affected by — physical health.
- Family history of addiction or bipolar
- Co-occurring conditions like diabetes & autoimmune
- Medical interactions with substance use
Psychological
What the substance is doing for you.
The underlying need a substance is meeting, and whether a dual-diagnosis mental health condition is in play — anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD.
- Underlying mental health conditions
- What makes the substance appealing

Social
The environment around recovery.
Living situation, relationships, work stressors and life events — the conditions that have to be stable for any treatment plan, especially detox, to take hold.
