What Is an Alcohol and Drug Evaluation?
An alcohol and drug evaluation is a structured clinical assessment conducted by a certified counselor or evaluator to determine the nature and extent of an individual’s substance use. The process involves a clinical interview, standardized screening tools, and a review of any relevant legal or medical history. The outcome of the evaluation guides recommendations for treatment, education, or monitoring programs.
These evaluations are commonly required in the following circumstances:
- DUI or DWI arrests and convictions
- Child custody and family court proceedings
- Probation or parole requirements
- Pre-employment or workplace screening
- Professional license reinstatement
- Voluntary self-assessment for personal growth
Our team at Alcohol Drug Evaluations understands that every situation is unique. We approach each assessment with professionalism, confidentiality, and compassion.
Who Needs an Alcohol and Drug Evaluation?
Court-Ordered Evaluations
Courts across Georgia routinely require individuals charged with DUI, drug possession, or related offenses to complete a certified substance use evaluation before sentencing or as a condition of probation. Our evaluators are familiar with Georgia’s legal standards and produce reports that satisfy court requirements efficiently and accurately.
DUI-Related Evaluations
Following a DUI arrest or conviction in Georgia, the Department of Driver Services (DDS) typically mandates a clinical evaluation before license reinstatement can be considered. At The Diversion Center, our certified evaluators provide thorough DUI assessments that meet all state requirements and help clients understand their next steps.
Diversion Program Participants
Many first-time offenders in Georgia are eligible for diversion programs that allow charges to be reduced or dismissed upon completing specific requirements, including a substance use evaluation. Our services align with these program guidelines and have helped hundreds of individuals successfully complete their diversion requirements. Visit our dedicated page on alcohol and drug evaluations in Georgia to learn exactly what to expect during the process.
Family and Custody Cases
In child custody disputes, judges may order one or both parents to undergo an evaluation to assess whether substance use poses a risk to child welfare. Our neutral, evidence-based evaluations provide the court with reliable information while treating each individual with dignity and respect.
Our Evaluation Process
We have designed our evaluation process to be straightforward, thorough, and respectful of your time. Here is what you can expect when you schedule with us:
- Initial Intake: Complete a brief intake form providing your personal details, the reason for your evaluation, and any relevant legal documentation.
- Clinical Interview: Meet with a certified evaluator who will ask structured questions about your substance use history, mental health, family background, and current circumstances.
- Standardized Screening: Complete validated screening tools such as the SASSI, AUDIT, or MAST to provide objective data for the assessment.
- Report Preparation: Your evaluator will compile all findings into a professional report that outlines conclusions and, if applicable, treatment recommendations.
- Report Delivery: Receive your completed report in a timely manner, formatted to meet court, employer, or licensing board specifications.

Alcohol and Drug Evaluations in Georgia
Georgia has specific requirements for certified substance abuse evaluators, particularly in cases involving the legal system. Our evaluators hold credentials recognized by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) and are familiar with the procedures required by courts, probation offices, and licensing boards throughout the state.
Service Areas Across Georgia
We serve clients across a wide range of Georgia counties and cities, including Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and surrounding communities. Whether you are in a metropolitan area or a rural county, we are committed to making evaluations accessible to everyone who needs them.
Online and In-Person Options
We understand that transportation, work schedules, or personal circumstances can make in-person visits difficult. That is why we offer both in-person evaluations at our Georgia locations and secure online assessments via telehealth platforms. Online evaluations follow the same rigorous standards as in-person assessments and produce court-accepted documentation.

Once your evaluation is complete, the recommendations outlined in your report will guide your next steps. Depending on the findings, you may be directed to one or more of the following:
- Substance abuse education courses (e.g., DUI Risk Reduction Program)
- Outpatient counseling or therapy
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Inpatient or residential treatment
- Support group participation such as AA or NA
- No treatment, if no significant substance use concerns are identified
We believe in empowering individuals with honest, actionable guidance. Our evaluators take the time to explain your results and connect you with appropriate resources when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an alcohol and drug evaluation take?

Will my evaluation report be shared with the court?
Your completed report can be released to the court, your attorney, a probation officer, or any other designated party upon your written authorization. We handle all releases in compliance with HIPAA regulations and Georgia privacy laws.

What should I bring to my evaluation?
Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID, any court orders or referral documents, and any relevant medical or treatment history that may be pertinent to the assessment. Arriving prepared helps ensure an accurate and efficient evaluation.
