All treatment at Alpha Emergence begins with an intake, otherwise known as a diagnostic assessment. This assessment is where we begin the treatment process and start developing treatment goals in collaboration with the client. The client’s needs are assessed, and plan of action is developed based on the information gathered.
AEBH provides several options for evaluation and assessment. Evaluations can be conducted for a comprehensive look at potential for recidivism, treatment amenability, supervision concerns, potential risk issues, and to develop treatment goals. Assessments can additionally provide information about personality, patterns of sexual arousal, participation, treatment efficacy, and more.
