Evaluation
When residents first admit to Cliffside Malibu, a comprehensive psychiatric and psychological evaluation is used to develop a well-designed, individualized treatment plan. This evaluation includes a number of intake assessment and formal diagnostic measures. In those cases where the individual has a history of mental illness or where the individual has more complex needs, we frequently utilize outside professionals for diagnostic evaluation and assessment purposes. In cases involving cognitive considerations, a neuropsychatric assessment may also be necessary.
