Professional Alcohol and Drug Evaluations in Georgia
If you or a loved one has been ordered by a court, employer, or licensing board to complete an alcohol and drug evaluation, finding a trusted and certified provider is essential. Our professional evaluation services are designed to help individuals navigate the legal and personal challenges associated with substance use. Whether you are seeking a DUI assessment or a court-ordered substance abuse evaluation, our licensed specialists provide accurate, compassionate, and timely assessments across Georgia.
What Is an Alcohol and Drug Evaluation?
An alcohol and drug evaluation is a structured clinical assessment conducted by a certified evaluator to determine the nature and extent of an individual’s substance use. Courts, probation officers, employers, and licensing authorities commonly require these evaluations as part of legal proceedings or compliance requirements.
Why You May Need an Evaluation
- Court-ordered assessments following a DUI or DWI charge
- Probation or parole compliance requirements
- Child custody and family court proceedings
- Professional licensing board requirements
- Employer-mandated substance use assessments
- Voluntary self-referral for personal awareness
Our team at Alcohol Drug Evaluations understands the stress that comes with legal and personal challenges surrounding substance use. We are here to guide you through the process with professionalism and respect.
Our Comprehensive Evaluation Services in Georgia
We offer a full range of substance use evaluation services tailored to meet the needs of individuals across all Georgia counties. Our certified evaluators follow state-approved protocols to ensure that every assessment is thorough, defensible in court, and completed in a timely manner.
Court-Ordered DUI and DWI Evaluations
A DUI charge can be a life-altering experience. Our evaluators work closely with individuals referred by the courts to provide an honest and clinically sound assessment. The results are used to determine appropriate levels of education or treatment, helping clients satisfy court requirements and move forward with their lives.
Substance Abuse Assessments
Our substance abuse assessments go beyond surface-level screening. We conduct in-depth interviews, review relevant history, and use standardised clinical tools to provide a complete picture of an individual’s relationship with alcohol or drugs. Results are used to develop personalised recommendations for education or treatment.
Risk and Needs Assessments
Risk and needs assessments help determine the level of care or intervention most appropriate for each individual. These assessments are commonly required in diversion programmes, treatment court settings, and early intervention programmes throughout Georgia.

The Evaluation Process: What to Expect
Understanding what happens during an evaluation can ease anxiety and help you prepare. Our process is straightforward, professional, and designed to respect your time and dignity.
Step 1: Initial Contact and Scheduling
Contact our team to schedule your evaluation at a time that works for you. We offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments, to minimise disruption to your daily routine.
Step 2: Clinical Interview
A certified evaluator will conduct a structured interview covering your history of substance use, personal and family background, legal history, and any relevant mental health concerns. This interview forms the foundation of your evaluation report.
Step 3: Standardised Screening Tools
We use nationally recognised and state-approved screening instruments to assess the severity of substance use and identify any co-occurring issues that may require attention.
Step 4: Evaluation Report and Recommendations
Following the interview, your evaluator will compile a written report outlining findings and clinical recommendations. Reports are typically completed within two to three business days and can be submitted directly to courts, attorneys, or probation officers as required.
State-Certified and Compliant Evaluations
All evaluations conducted through our service are performed by licensed and certified professionals who meet Georgia’s requirements for substance abuse assessment. Our reports are accepted by Georgia courts, probation departments, the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS), and other relevant agencies.
We follow all applicable guidelines set by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), ensuring that every evaluation meets the highest standards of clinical practice and legal compliance.
Online and Remote Evaluation Options
Recognising that many individuals cannot easily travel to a physical location, we offer secure online evaluation services. Remote evaluations are conducted via encrypted video conferencing platforms and comply fully with Georgia’s requirements for court-accepted assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alcohol and Drug Evaluations
How long does an evaluation take?
Most evaluations are completed within one to two hours. The duration depends on the complexity of your history and the specific requirements of your referring agency or court.
What should I bring to my evaluation?
- A valid government-issued photo ID
- Any court orders or referral paperwork
- Your attorney’s contact information, if applicable
- Any prior evaluation reports, if available
- Payment or proof of approved funding
Will my evaluation results be kept confidential?
Your evaluation results are protected under federal and state confidentiality laws, including 42 CFR Part 2 and HIPAA. Information will only be released with your written consent or as required by law.
How quickly will I receive my report?
In most cases, evaluation reports are completed and delivered within two to three business days. Expedited services may be available upon request for urgent legal deadlines.
What is the difference between an evaluation and treatment?
An evaluation is an assessment used to determine whether treatment or education is needed and, if so, at what level.

Diversion Programmes and Early Intervention
Many individuals who are required to complete an evaluation are eligible for participation in diversion programmes that can reduce or eliminate criminal charges upon successful completion.
