Commonly asked questions
The SOCRATES questionnaire yields scores in three subscales: Recognition, Ambivalence, and Taking Steps. Higher scores in each subscale indicate greater readiness for change in that specific area. The recognition acknowledges the need for change, Ambivalence gauges mixed feelings, and Taking Steps measures confidence in making changes.
SOCRATES is used in various stages of addiction treatment and counseling. It is administered during initial assessments, treatment planning, progress monitoring, and transition points in treatment to assess an individual's readiness for change.
