ASSESSMENTS ARE KEY

ASSESSMENT PROCESS

ADMISSIONS ASSESSMENT

In the past few decades, scientists and medical professionals have done extensive research into the science of addiction. Psychologists, therapists, neuroscientists, and addiction specialists have explored the causes of addiction and the best treatment for the disorder.

Project Surrender uses mental and physical assessments to gain a comprehensive understanding of your addiction and design the most effective treatment plan for you.

Our professionals use this insight to offer the most accurate and up-to-date treatment available.

Neuropsychological testing assesses the effect drug abuse has on your brain. It informs us which mental skills your addiction has impacted the most and which ones may still function well.

During the assessment, a team member will ask you to answer several questions verbally and repeat specific sentences or phrases back to them. They will also give you a sheet of written questions to answer. We may also ask you to move around or perform specific actions in a particular order.

The results of these tests will give us in-depth information about your mental skills, including:

Cognition and emotional health
Executive functioning
Working memory function
Attention
Language skills
