PROFESSIONAL LIMITS
What the findings can—and cannot—tell you.
This review is not an addiction diagnosis, medical detoxification assessment or withdrawal management service. People at risk of alcohol or drug withdrawal should seek medical advice before changing use abruptly.
Screening outcomes depend on the purpose, information available and appropriate tools. The practitioner will explain uncertainty and any reasons to seek a suitably qualified specialist.
Frequently asked questions
Will I be told I must stop using substances?
The purpose is to explore your goals and relevant risks without assumptions; any medical needs are referred to appropriately qualified services.
Can this replace specialist addiction treatment?
No. It may help identify suitable next steps, including referral when more intensive or medical support is needed.
