SUD Assessments
At True North Clinic, we understand that overcoming substance use disorders (SUD) is a complex and highly personal journey. Our SUD assessments are designed to provide a thorough evaluation to determine the right level of care for each individual. With our compassionate and professional approach, we aim to empower you with the resources and support you need to make lasting changes for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
What Are Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Assessments?
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) assessments are clinical evaluations used to understand the nature and severity of a person’s substance use. These assessments help us identify whether someone has a substance use disorder and determine the appropriate course of treatment based on their unique needs.
At True North Clinic, our team of licensed professionals uses evidence-based tools like the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI), among other assessment methods, to help us gain a clear understanding of your situation. The SASSI is a scientifically validated screening tool that helps assess the risk of substance use disorders in a sensitive and non-judgmental manner.
Why Choose True North Clinic for Your SUD Assessment?

Expert Evaluation Using the SASSI
The Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) is a leading tool used by addiction specialists worldwide. It helps our professionals understand the nuances of your substance use patterns and identify underlying issues that may not be immediately obvious.

Personalized Care Plans
No two people are the same, which is why we take a personalized approach to every SUD assessment. Once the assessment is complete, we work with you to develop a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to your needs, whether that’s outpatient care, inpatient treatment, or a combination of different therapies.
