Casa Palmera Introduces New Online Addiction Assessments

DEL MAR, Calif., July 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Casa Palmera, a nationally recognized residential treatment center located in Del Mar, Ca., has added a new Assessments section of its website. The assessments section includes a series of free and confidential online self-assessments website visitors can take to find out if they are addicted to drugs or alcohol.

"We believe in empowering our patients and that means giving them the tools they need to succeed, and these assessments are one of those tools which can result in someone asking for help," said Casa Palmera Clinical Director Bruce Figuered. "Whether we end up treating that person, or they go to another facility for treatment, we've done the right thing by providing a tool that leads them to recovery."

Casa Palmera is a leading residential treatment center offering rehabilitation for drug abuse, alcohol addiction, eating disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders and trauma-related disorders. The Casa Palmera team intends to add more assessments in the future that will cover a wider range of specific substance abuse and mood disorders.

The Casa Palmera website now offers:

• Alcohol Abuse Assessment
• Cocaine Addiction Assessment
• Percocet Addiction Assessment
• Marijuana Addiction Assessment
• Methamphetamine Addiction Assessment
• Heroin Addiction Assessment
• Inhalants Addiction Assessment
• Oxycodone Addiction Assessment
• MDMA and Ecstasy Addiction Assessment
• General Drug Abuse Assessment
• Eating Disorder Assessment

The online addiction assessments are 100% free and confidential and intended to provide a closer look into the habits and ideas surrounding substance abuse. Assessment participants complete about a dozen questions related to physical habits, thoughts, ideas and motivations. At the end of the assessment, they are assigned a score and can then choose to get in touch with Casa Palmera to find out their treatment options.

Casa Palmera urges complete honesty when completing an assessment so individuals will have better insight into their use, coping style, strengths, specific addiction issues and personal preferences.

Casa Palmera also discloses that its online assessments do not take the place of a face-to-face professional assessment and they should not be treated as a comprehensive discussion of addiction and substance abuse. The Casa Palmera assessments are not a diagnostic tool, rather a tool for individuals to better understand their own behavior.

Theses assessments were developed based on the collective knowledge, education, training and experience of the professionals at Casa Palmera. For more information on Casa Palmera, visit www.casapalmera.com.
