Substance Abuse Check

Substance Abuse Check

Screening test + 15-min phone consult + written recommendations

Cost: $60

Are you concerned with your drinking or other substance abuse? Have you noticed that your habits have increased or you’re finding that they are impacting on your everyday life, work or relationships?

The first step is admitting that you may have a problem, and Psychology Melbourne’s Substance Abuse Check can help you do this.

If you’re unsure if you’re ready for counselling or if that is even the right move for you, our screening test and follow-up consult can provide insights into the nature of your problem, and whether you’re ready to make a change.

Substance abuse can cause problems in all areas of life. Family and friends may be affected by the person’s changing personality and inability to accept that his or her behaviour is a problem.

It can affect the person and their family through financial problems. An addiction can be costly and acquiring the substance is often put ahead of important expenses such as food, rent, healthcare or bills.

This can make it impossible for someone to work productively, or induce them to take excessive sick leave.
