Alcohol Assessment
A comprehensive alcohol assessment explores your drinking habits, examining factors such as consumption levels, health, relationships, work, finances, and legal implications. This essential evaluation helps to identify where you stand with alcohol use. It determines whether you occasionally overindulge, struggle with binge drinking, or rely on alcohol daily. The assessment is key in identifying your drinking phase, associated risks, and crafting a tailored plan to help with drinking problems, including strategies for quitting drinking, cutting down on alcohol, or managing binge drinking.
