So I relapsed HARD. My boyfriend is moving in tomorrow and my job needs me back in full focus. I am ready to go to an addictions center or the hospital to get help. (I didn't last time.) my question is for anyone who has done this as an outpatient how long did your initial assessment take? I'm not looking for medical advice. Just anecdotal.

Thanks in advance.

I went to detox then did outpatient for six months. For detox I was there 3 days. For the outpatient I think the assessment took about an hour

I did an assessment for outpatient once, it was actually over the phone and lasted about 30 minutes.

I did a face to face assessment which lasted an hour and in it we discussed my drinking history how I felt what I wanted out of it (meaning the group therapy) what was being offered things like that

completed my group therapy and felt really good about that also completed 6 cbt sessions

No experience with outpatient but I have been in detox quite a few times, assuming it's the same for outpatient, which I assume it would be and the same procedure as here which includes a medical exam, about an hour to an hour and a half.
