Alcohol and other drugs assessment clinicians’ booklet (2011)

Description

This booklet has been adapted from the Integrated services assessment instruction booklet (2010) developed by the Drug and Alcohol Office of WA with the intention of offering a useful resource for clinicians from other services. The booklet comprises of:

• Part A: a standard alcohol and other drugs (AOD) assessment form
• Part B: a clinicians' guide to using the standard AOD assessment form.

Part A offers an example of a standard AOD assessment and can be adapted to suit individual agency needs. Part B provides guidance on how to complete the standard AOD assessment. It also suggests how information may be recorded so that key information is retained. The standard assessment form outlined in the booklet may be adapted to suit individual agency needs and the supporting instructions may be used as part of induction training or as an ongoing resource for staff.
