Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations
Tired of Being Misunderstood You’re Not Alone
For too many people, psychiatric evaluations have felt more like judgment than help. Five-minute questions. A fast diagnosis. A script handed out before anyone really listens. At Metro Recovery Center, we do things differently.
Our Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations are designed to give you a complete, compassionate understanding of your mental health, substance use, trauma history, and emotional needs—because you’re more than a symptom list.
What Makes Our Evaluations Truly Comprehensive
- Your mood, thoughts, behaviors, and coping patterns
- Your trauma and life experiences
- Your physical health and medical history
- Any past psychiatric diagnoses and medications
- Your relationship to substances—past and present
- Environmental, cultural, and systemic factors affecting your health
Why This Matters in Recovery
If you’re receiving treatment for substance use and mental health, your diagnosis—and how it’s made—impacts everything.
What therapy approaches are used
Whether you’re prescribed psychiatric medication—and which ones
How your MAT plan is adjusted
How your team collaborates
Whether the system treats you as a person—or just another chart
What to Expect From Your Evaluation
A Dedicated Session With a Psychiatric Professional
You’ll meet with a licensed psychiatric provider who will listen first, ask thoughtful questions, and take your entire story into account.
No Pressure, No Labels You Didn’t Agree To
We collaborate with you on your care. We don’t throw diagnoses at you—we explain, educate, and walk you through your options.
A Written Clinical Summary
You’ll receive a clear, concise summary of the evaluation’s findings, plus recommendations for therapy, medication (if appropriate), or next steps.
A Clear Path Forward
Whether you continue with us for therapy, MAT, psychiatric services, or all three—we’ll build a personalized plan that fits your reality and supports your goals.
Who This Is For
- Clients beginning care who need a full mental health picture
- Individuals with past misdiagnoses or overmedication
- Clients transitioning out of inpatient or correctional facilities
- MAT clients needing psychiatric input to support emotional stability
- Anyone unsure if psychiatric care or medication is right for them
Why MRC Evaluations Feel Different
Because we don’t rush.
Because we don’t make assumptions.
Because we don’t hand out diagnoses that define you—we work with you to understand what’s really going on.
Most importantly, because we believe that clarity is a form of compassion—and every person deserves to be truly seen.
