Overview
This is a comprehensive evaluation for individuals seeking services for substance abuse. This assessment can fulfill the drug and alcohol evaluation requirement necessary for court, drunk driving programs, the DMV, or other service providers.
A drug and alcohol assessment takes about 60 minutes to complete. It is done privately with the therapist and client, virtually or in person. We can typically schedule a session and complete a written report within the same week.
Content
Clients are asked to report on their substance history, previous treatment, impact their substance use has had on their health, family, relationships, school, and work. Clients facing legal consequences should bring in any related documents and materials with them. Everything remains confidential unless the client signs written permission to release information to a third party like an attorney, family member, or other healthcare provider.
Resources
Depending on the situation, clients may be referred to individual counseling, group counseling, intensive outpatient program, inpatient rehab, or 12-step meetings, or no treatment at all. A combination of these options is likely.
Price
Insurance does not typically cover this assessment so the out-of-pocket fee will range from $250-300. This includes the 60-minute session, written report, and communications with third parties. Upon completion of your evaluation, you can choose to complete your recommended treatment at Westport Counseling & Therapy or seek counseling elsewhere if necessary.
