An alcohol and drug evaluation is a confidential, professional assessment that examines your substance use history and its impact on your personal, legal, employment, and family life. Conducted by a licensed counselor, the evaluation determines whether a substance use disorder or co-occurring psychiatric condition is present and to what degree.
Evaluations are commonly required or recommended for:

Your evaluator will comprehensively review:
Physical and mental health background, past diagnoses, medications, and prior psychiatric treatments.
Relationships, employment, education, community involvement, and family dynamics.
A complete record of all arrests, including dismissed or expunged charges. Accuracy here is critical; discrepancies can invalidate the evaluation.
Current and past use of all substances: alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, prescription drugs, and others.
Standardized clinical assessments are used alongside relevant documentation such as court records, medical history reports, and prior psychiatric evaluations. After the evaluation, you receive a written clinical report with findings and, where appropriate, treatment or education recommendations. Most Marietta clients receive their report the same day or within 24 hours.
