Private Pay Substance Use Assessment
Find clarity, understanding, and navigate a path forward
Sometimes we need answers quickly. Maybe you’ve been asked to complete a substance use assessment for court, probation, work, school, or custody concerns. Maybe someone you love has expressed worry, and part of you is wondering what to do next. Or you are simply looking for clarity for yourself. Whatever your why, we’re here for you.
No matter where you are in the process you might feel overwhelmed, vulnerable, angry and filled with uncertainty. You may be experiencing fear about the outcome, shame about the past, anxiety about what this might mean for your future, or even annoyance that you have to do this at all.
At Creative Healing, we understand how hard it can be to engage in an assessment that can completely change your life. We want you to know: this is a space of compassion and curiosity for your full story.
Our private pay substance use assessments provide a professional, confidential evaluation to help you understand where you are and what support may be needed.

Why private pay?
-
When time is of the utmost importance, private pay allows you to complete your assessment sooner with increased privacy and freedom from insurance restrictions.
Private pay allows you to:
-
Schedule quickly; often within days
-
Maintain a higher level of privacy and confidentiality
-
Receive recommendations that are based solely on your needs: not insurance expectations
This gives you more control over your process and your timeline.
When time matters, we can help you move forward quickly.
-
You are not your symptoms
-
You may have started using substances as a way to fit in. As a way to cope, numb or even survive the fuckery of life.
We see you.
We see the part of you that has been trying to protect you. Even if it’s no longer serving you.
This assessment is not about labeling you.
It is about understanding what has been happening and helping you choose what comes next.
