What is a mental health assessment?

At Reno Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, our goal during the assessment process is for you to feel comfortable and informed. After an initial phone call, our licensed professionals will determine if you need a mental health assessment in Reno, Nevada. If they determine that you are in need of an assessment, a licensed professional will ask you about the concerns you are currently having as well as questions about your past medical and psychiatric history. If applicable, any drug and/or alcohol abuse will be addressed as well. An assessment allows us to efficiently and effectively evaluate how you are feeling emotionally and physically so that we may identify a program and services which best meet your needs. Feel free to include a family member or friend, as this may be helpful for support and to assist in the assessment process.

This assessment is not a psychiatric evaluation. Rather, it is to determine whether you need to be hospitalized or receive some other type of service. Once the assessment is complete, a licensed professional will discuss the results with you and then make a determination about what services would best fit your needs.
