ADE Incorporated's NEEDS assessment is a 130-question, comprehensive, adult assessment tool. This instrument addresses life stress, attitude and emotional stability, criminal history and alcohol /drug use based on DSM-IV and ASAM guidelines. This instrument may be used as the basis for a personal interview, a psycho-social history or a referral. The NEEDS includes 32 additional questions which relate to the stability of significant areas of an individual's life. This profile of the individual can be used as an outline for a diagnostic interview, treatment plan development or making immediate decisions for referral.

The NEEDS instrument is easy to administer and provides accurate information in a matter of minutes.

The NEEDS is available in the PASS (Professional Assessment Software Suite).
