Get an Assessment & Referral for Treatment

The purpose of the assessment is to gather information on the person's functioning and strengths in all areas of his or her life. Based on the findings during the assessment, and with your (the client's) input, a recommendation for treatment is made.

Substance use disorder assessments and referrals are provided by professional clinical staff. Community partners such as juvenile and adult courts, schools, hospitals, shelters, private citizens, corrections staff, attorneys, social service providers, and other County agencies refer individuals to the Division for substance use disorder evaluations, as a vehicle to match clients with the appropriate level of intervention. Program staff are available for clinical consultation and inquiries from the public on issues relating to substance use disorder.

Find the Right Assessment For You

Before an individual can begin treatment they must first receive an assessment. Assessments for treatment can be received at any of our providers.

If you or a loved one needs an assessment, you have options.

All providers within the County's treatment network are capable of assessing for clinical need and making a referral to an appropriate treatment program. Contact information for network providers can be found in the Resource Guide (see below). The Division also contracts with Huntsman Mental Health Institute's Assessment and Referral Services (ARS) to provide assessments and referrals into treatment programs. Although they do not provide treatment on site at ARS, they are a great resource for an assessment. You can reach ARS at (801) 587-2770 Monday - Friday, 8 am - 5 pm to schedule an assessment.
