A Substance Abuse Evaluation is for NON- DUI, Employment, SAP, DOT, DFCS, Probation, Pretrial, Attorneys or pre-indictment/arraignment purposes. Individuals are referred to be evaluated based upon the underlying offense, case or employment. The types of cases may vary.
Some of the most common causes are (possession of controlled substance), (possession with intent), (reckless driving), (theft by receiving), (minors in possession of alcohol-MIP), (criminal trespass), (battery), (disorderly conduct), (failing a drug test on the job), (inquiries as to parenting ability based on substance dependence), etc..
There is nothing to worry about the evaluation as SAP; substance abuse professionals are there to help you in best possible way. A proper treatment plan is prepared by the experienced SAP to ensure that the problem of addiction is gone permanently. There are cases where the person again starts taking drug and alcohol after taking the treatment. SAP keeps in touch with the person to monitor the condition even after the treatment is done.
If your employer or court has ordered you to take the evaluation, then it is imperative to take the sessions regularly. Permission to return back to work will not be granted to the employee who has not followed the treatment plan.
To get a valid review report, you must get the evaluation done from an authentic place. American Alternative Court Services has 25 years of experience in providing outpatient addiction counseling and addiction counseling to people in Atlanta. A team of doctors, SAP substance abuse professionals and psychotherapists works together in order to eradicate the difficulty of substance abuse from society.
