The evaluation process is key to proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Clinical evaluation is the first steps to helping individuals with mental illness, substance use disorder (SUD), and co-occurring disorders receive appropriate care. The counselor should always ensure that the individual receives the best and most appropriate treatment and services available, even if it requires referring the individual somewhere else.
The counselor performing evaluations, must have knowledge of SUD and mental illnesses to ensure the appropriate information is gathered for an accurate diagnosis, an appropriate treatment plan, and/or referrals. In addition to knowledge, counselors conducting evaluations must have personal qualities such as empathy, active listening, and specific personal traits.
