    Substance use treatment

    Are you concerned about your use of various types of drugs? Or are you concerned about a loved one’s substance use? The links to the screening tools below will aid you in determining if the help of your primary care provider (PCP) and/or chemical dependency provider is needed. 

    • The Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10) may be used by adults aged 21 and older as a self-test tool.
    • The CRAFFT Screening Questions is a short questionnaire to be used by children and young adults under the age of 21. Seek the help of your PCP or chemical dependency provider if your child answers yes to two or more questions. This questionnaire is also available in Vietnamese and Spanish.

    CareOregon is here to help you and your family on the road to recovery. We are here to support and assist you in accessing chemical dependency (CD) services. If you need help with substance use treatment, talk to your primary care provider (PCP).

    • Next, choose a mental health provider with a specialty in alcohol and drug treatment from your CareOregon Provider Directory. A provider can help you determine if you or a family member may have a substance use problem. If a problem exists, the provider can help you make decisions and give you guidance on the best course of treatment or services available. You do not need to call CareOregon for a referral for these services.
    • For substance use treatment, covered benefits include counseling office visits, acupuncture, methadone treatment and detoxification services.

    Contact your primary care provider (PCP) for additional information, or call Customer Service at 800-224-4840 or TTY 711 to learn more about your benefits.
