Treatment Continuum

Assessment     Iberia Parish Outpatient Treatment Center will assess all juveniles upon entrance into the Family-Focused Juvenile Drug Court .  A computerized adolescent version of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) will be administered at the time of intake.  The Case Manager will review the report to determine the kinds of services each client needs, including: education, employment, mental health, vocational training, detox, inpatient treatment, treatment for family members, etc.  A physical examination will be scheduled for the first week of admission to the program.  From that examination, the physician and the Case Manager will make referrals for other service needs such as mental health screening, HIV testing, etc.  Since juveniles require a somewhat different approach than the adult drug court client, a part of the assessment is to indicate the intensity and projected duration of substance abuse treatment services and ancillary services, such as treatment for the juvenile's family.
