What occurs during the assessment phase of the evaluation process?

The counselor rates the patient’s progress
The patient is extensively interviewed to tailor a treatment plan
The patient is assessed for legal issues
The counselor determines the cost of treatment

The correct answer is: The patient is extensively interviewed to tailor a treatment plan

During the assessment phase of the evaluation process, the primary focus is on gathering comprehensive information about the patient. This includes conducting an extensive interview with the patient to understand their history, experiences, and specific needs. By tailoring a treatment plan to the individual, the counselor can identify the most effective interventions that will address the patient’s unique circumstances, including their substance use history, psychological and physical health, social support systems, and any co-occurring disorders. This personalized approach is essential for developing a treatment plan that is both relevant and effective, setting the foundation for successful outcomes in the patient's recovery journey.
