Diagnostic Assessments: What They Are and How They Can Help
- 3 objectives:
1. Identify the key components of a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, including substance use, mental health, medical history, risk, and functioning.
2. Apply DSM-5-TR substance use disorder criteria within a full diagnostic assessment and distinguish substance use disorders from substance-induced and co-occurring conditions.
3. Formulate accurate diagnostic impressions based on comprehensive assessment data to guide appropriate level of care and treatment planning.
