comprehensive assessment

Upon admission, each Orpheus client will undergo comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment that considers the mental, physical and emotional aspects of each individual.

Complete psychological, physical, and in some cases, medical examination, identify critical client needs as the foundation for an individualised holistic treatment plan, and as a basis for goals, objectives, and the nature and scope of modalities to be included in the overall program. Individual assessment of a client's family needs determines the appropriate degree of family involvement within treatment.

Considering assessment factors may include:

  • History of addiction
  • Substance use history
  • Medications
  • Allergies
  • State of physical health
  • Present mental state
  • Psychological history
  • Family and social history
  • Family and relationship issues

Client assessment is an ongoing, evolving process that continues for the duration of Orpheus treatment as a means to measure progress and adapt to changing needs.
