Using addictions screenings and assessments to understand the severity and nature of a service user's addiction is necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Students also examine how to use the results to determine the appropriate level of care and to recommend referrals. In addition, students consider possible co-occurring issues, as well as the ethical, legal, and cultural considerations that arise during the screening and assessment process.
