Addiction Information > Drug Abuse Treatment Guidelines - Initial Appraisal - Part 1
INITIAL APPRAISAL
Initial appraisal may be carried out immediately following detection of a drug or alcohol problem. The immediate objectives will be to:
- Direct the immediate action plan, through a brief assessment of needs.
- Collect baseline information for the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System.
- Deliver harm-minimisation advice.
- Deliver a brief motivational intervention.
Several decisions need to be made to direct immediate action:
- What is the stage of change of the patient (see appendix 2, page 116)?
- Is referral to specialist services indicated?
- Does the patient have any immediate prescribing needs to manage drug withdrawal?
- Are there any other urgent issues?
