What Is an Alcohol and Drug Evaluation?
An alcohol and drug evaluation is a structured clinical assessment used to determine whether a person has a substance use disorder and, if so, what level of treatment — if any — is recommended. It is commonly required by Georgia courts, the Department of Driver Services (DDS), probation officers, DFCS in child custody or neglect cases, and certain employers or DOT-regulated workplaces.
During the evaluation, a licensed clinician conducts a one-on-one interview, administers standardized screening tools, and reviews any relevant history. The process typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. At the end, a written clinical report is produced that outlines findings and recommendations — formatted to meet the specific requirements of the requesting court, agency, or officer.
This is not a punitive process. It is a professional clinical review designed to give courts and agencies an accurate, evidence-based picture.
