At Carolina Community Support Services, Inc., we want to fully understand your condition and situation first, so that we can prepare a comprehensive care plan that is suitable for your needs. This is why we offer our inclusive clinical assessment for those who are struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues and need counseling therapy in North Carolina.

It is important for us to pinpoint and understand the exact mental health condition that our client is in, and we want to fully understand what substance issues they are going through. Through this understanding, we believe that we can deliver the most appropriate care and support services that they need in order to cope with their disorder and/or to recover from their addictions.

What Is a Clinical Assessment?

A clinical assessment is a structured, one-on-one evaluation designed to identify your mental health needs, emotional state, and any co-occurring substance use issues. It’s the first and most essential step in developing a personalized treatment plan. At Carolina Community Support Services, we use this comprehensive evaluation to get to the heart of what you’re experiencing, so we can create a path toward healing and long-term recovery.

Why Clinical Assessments Matter

Clinical assessments answer that question. Our experienced clinicians look at your mental, emotional, and behavioral health to determine what services are right for you. By taking time to understand your story, we ensure that the care you receive is meaningful, relevant, and rooted in your strengths.
