The Basics of a DUI Assessment
A DUI assessment is designed to evaluate your relationship with alcohol or drugs and determine any necessary steps for education or treatment. This is typically a requirement following a DUI charge, but it’s also an opportunity for self-reflection and growth.
 
The Step-by-Step Process
  • Initial Intake: You’ll fill out paperwork detailing your personal history, substance use patterns, and the circumstances leading to your DUI.
  • Discussion with a Licensed Professional: In a confidential setting, you’ll talk about your alcohol or drug use, how it impacts your life, and any related challenges.
  • Assessment Tools: Standardized screening tools may be used to get a clear picture of your needs.
  • Recommendations: Based on the findings, you’ll receive a tailored recommendation, whether it’s an education program, treatment, or no further action.
