The Self Assessments
The self assessments are here to help you take a thoughtful look at your
substance use issues and what you would like to do about them.
After you do the assessments, you will be more ready to move towards one
of the five pathways listed below. Each pathway is a “something-to-do”
about your drug/alcohol use; they’re listed in order of how strongly
they intervene with the problem.
- No wish for action right now: I’ve concluded
my issues are not serious enough for me to need to do anything right now.
Or, I get it that my issues should be addressed, but I’m just not
ready to do that, and will come back to these issues some time in the
future.
- Free online tools: I see a substance use issue that
I believe I can tackle by using the free online tools provided by SLSSM.
- Positive Change
Coaching: : I am interested in finding a
coach who will help me set goals around my particular behaviors of drinking
and/or doing drugs.
- Inner-Directed
Therapy: : I am interested in finding a
therapist who will help me heal some emotional wounds that seem to be
the source of my more compulsive substance use.
- Inpatient treatment:
After doing the assessments, I realize I need more support than Self-Led
SolutionsSM can give me right now. I should look into inpatient
treatment or an intensive outpatient treatment program.
Go to the assessments:
Assessment #1. How Big Is My
Problem?
Assessment #2. The Price I
Pay
Assessment #3. How Compulsive
Is My Use?
Assessment #4. Do I Need More
Intensive Treatment than SLSSM Offers?
And when you're finished with the assessments, be sure to read Positive Change Coaching or Inner-Directed Therapy? for help deciding
which path is best for you.
