Assessment for Substance Use Disorders
Central Intake/Assessment for Substance Use Disorders
Programs that serve as gatekeeper agencies which evaluate individuals who are in need of services related to an alcohol or other drug use disorder and triage them for the limited number of subsidized beds that may be available in the community. Some programs may also offer medical detoxification services for people who need them.
Programs that administer blood, urine or breath tests or utilize other screening techniques to determine whether an individual has alcohol or other drugs in his or her system and to identify the substance involved. Sweat, saliva, tears and hair can also be analyzed for the same purpose.
Substance Use Related Outpatient Observation Services
Programs that provide for the placement of acutely intoxicated individuals in an appropriate nursing unit for periodic monitoring by staff in order to evaluate their condition and determine the need for admission to the hospital as an inpatient. Most facilities and insurers limit observation time to 23 hours, but some cover up to 48 hours when medically necessary.
