Outpatient addiction assessment & treatment
Addiction and substance misuse can have a devastating impact on individuals, their families, their employer and their community. At Steps Together, we understand this and our range of non-residential outpatient services, supported by our collection of residential inpatient services, can provide the perfect, discreet, confidential, private solutions.
Addiction triage assessment & clinical services
A specialist addiction triage is an assessment undertaken by a professional addiction worker, which is usually a specialist GP, a specialist nurse practitioner (non-medical prescriber), or substance misuse practitioner.
This triage assessment is designed to understand more about you and your drug or alcohol use and helps our service (and you) understand the impact this is having on your health, work, behaviours, mental health, relationships and finances.
This assessment will help our team to design a treatment programme with you, which may involve advice, guidance, further specialist clinical treatment, and a specialist counselling and therapy assessment from our expert psychology and counselling team.
Usually taking 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete, addiction triage assessments are followed by a range of clinical treatment options including:
