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 or is at risk for one. Courts, employers, and state agencies use these evaluations to make informed decisions about sentencing, custody, licensing, and employment.
You may need an alcohol and drug evaluation in Kennesaw if you have been charged with a DUI, are fulfilling a court or probation order, are involved in a DFCS child custody case, or are required by an employer for pre-employment or return-to-duty screening.
During the evaluation, a licensed clinician conducts a structured interview, administers standardized screening tools, and compiles findings into a written report. The process typically takes 60 to 90 minutes and results in a professional document suitable for submission to courts and state agencies.
