Substance Use Evaluations and Drug & Alcohol Assessments

Court-Ordered • Probation • Outpatient Evaluations

A substance use evaluation (also called a drug and alcohol assessment or substance abuse evaluation) is a comprehensive clinical assessment conducted by a licensed professional to determine:

  • Whether a substance use disorder is present
  • The severity of substance misuse
  • Risk factors and behavioral patterns
  • Appropriate level of care recommendations

These evaluations are commonly required for:

  • Criminal Justice-related charges
  • Probation requirements
  • Court orders
  • Child welfare (DCF/CPS) cases
