Chemical Dependency Assessments:
Two chemical dependency assessors provide chemical dependency evaluation
and assessments on individuals. Assessments are completed on individuals
who are court ordered to make a determination about the level of their
chemical use and whether or not services should be recommended for
purposes of a court order or CHIPS Petition.
Chemical Dependency Evaluations are completed to determine whether or not a person
is eligible for funding to pay for treatment through the consolidated
treatment fund. The consolidated treatment fund is an income based
treatment fund for individual’s incidence seeking treatment or who maybe
court ordered to follow treatment recommendations.
Individuals who received Medical Assistance or GAMC are automatically
eligible for the consolidated fund.
The Chemical Dependency Unit conducts prescreening for traditional
commitments when a Petitioner comes forward who is willing to testify
about a family member or loved one who is in imminent danger of harm to
self or others, directly due to their chemical use.
Assessments can be completed on individuals of any age, whether they may be an adult
or an adolescent. The Assessment Worker will interview the individual
incident treatment, and others to determine if chemical dependency
services are needed.
