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
