Substance Abuse Worksheet

This worksheet has been designed to be used by any patient that is experiencing substance abuse issues. Regardless of how significant the patient’s condition is, or how long they have been seeking treatment, this worksheet will have vast benefits – for both you and them.

The substance abuse worksheet should be completed by your patients. You can distribute the resource to them during a session or send them an electronic copy, and the patients can fill them in on their own time. It is a good idea to remind your patients to bring the completed worksheet to their next session, so you can collaboratively go through it together and decide on the next steps for the patient’s treatment plan.

This question is difficult to answer, as it is entirely dependent on the needs of the patient. That being said, the value of the worksheet shouldn’t decrease as the patient continues towards their treatment goals. However, if you notice that the patient isn’t improving noticeably or that the answers on their worksheets have remained similar for a period of time, you may decide it is not working as effectively anymore.
