Stevens’ short-term assessment provides adolescents with a comprehensive evaluation designed to determine their appropriate level-of-care, behavioral health needs and recommended interventions.
How We Can Help
The following expert assessments are available:
• Clinical Assessment |
• Family Assessment |
• Medical Assessment |
• Educational Assessment |
• Risk Assessments |
Depending on the youth’s needs, these evaluations are completed within 45 to 60 days. Once we have completed the evaluation, our team presents a comprehensive written report that includes treatment recommendations. We work with you to develop a plan for community-based services or other placement options. The Short-term Assessment lets you make an informed decision and directs your client toward the most appropriate services.
Expert Analysis
We surround the youth with experts in every field to ensure an in-depth and accurate assessment so you can be confident when planning the next steps. Our state-of-the-art facility ensures clients’ safety in a comfortable setting that encourages youth to focus on their treatment.
Smooth Transition
When considering admission, we can screen youth at our location, over video, or at another specified location. Once the evaluation begins, our teaching staff coordinate lesson plans and maintain a portfolio of the youth’s work to ensure a smooth re-entry into academic life. We also work with follow-up providers to ensure they have the necessary information and a complete understanding of the youth’s needs.
