At Elite Recovery, clear diagnosis leads to clear direction
A Diagnostic Assessment helps identify your current mental health and substance use needs, determine eligibility for services, and open the door to the care that’s right for you. It’s often required for insurance coverage and state-based treatment programs.
What Is a Diagnostic Assessment?
A Diagnostic Assessment is a clinical evaluation conducted by a licensed mental health professional. It typically takes 45–60 minutes and results in a formal diagnosis that helps guide your treatment options and insurance approval.

- Substance use history and patterns
- Current functioning in daily life
- Medical and medication history
- Risk factors and immediate safety needs
- Preliminary treatment recommendations
What to Expect:
- Takes 45–60 minutes
