What Do Doctors Screen for In Rehab?
When patients enter rehab or a detox facility, they receive a full assessment so that a comprehensive treatment plan can be created for them. This assessment includes many things, some of which are a mental health screening, physical health screening, genetics, diseases and other issues"”like prescription meds a patient may be on, and STD screenings. The reason for all of these is that they are major factors in assessing a person's addiction and how to treat them.
