A thorough medical evaluation is necessary for determining the right mode of treatment for a particular individual. The medical provider must perform certain tasks to assess the current physical condition of the patient in order to determine if medications are necessary as well as what type of medicines the patient needs to take.
Medical evaluation is a process of examining and assessing the causes of a certain medical, mental health, or addiction condition. This process will be performed by our caring and professional staff upon admission.
The process of evaluation becomes more complicated if addiction is involved, such as drug addiction or alcohol abuse. More often than not, mental issues are also included in these types of medical problems.
The main objective of our medical evaluation is performed for one main reason: to ascertain the physical condition of the patient and their specific biological and medical needs to facilitate recovery. In the process of obtaining this primary objective, we aim to:
- Determine if there are other medical conditions or issues that may affect the early stages of treatment
If the initial evaluations show that the patient’s problems originated in her abuse of drugs or alcohol, additional assessments will be made to determine the extent of the patient’s medical problems.
A thorough medical assessment is the beginning of your Christian rehab treatment program at New Creation. This process involves physical and medical examinations, designing the appropriate treatment methods, and the gradual obtaining of more detailed information about the patient’s real physical and mental conditions.
It is important that there will be no delays in treating the patient once her medical assessment is initiated. There are a lot of external factors that may affect the patient’s physical condition if the treatment is delayed, negating the initial results of her evaluation.
