Clinical Diagnostic Evaluation
The Clinical Diagnostic Evaluation (CDE) is for licensed
professionals (physicians, physician’s assistants, nurses,
podiatrists, psychologists, MFTs, LCSWs, psychiatrists, veterinarians,
attorneys and pilots) and other individuals who need a diagnostic
assessment to determine whether or not they meet the DSM-IV
criteria for "Substance Dependence." The process
simultaneously assesses possible co-existing disorders.
