DUI Clinical Evaluation Atlanta

A DUI Clinical Evaluation is a court-mandated evaluation, usually ordered by the sentencing judge as part of the probationary terms and conditions. It can be conducted pre or post formal court proceedings. Being proactive and obtaining an evaluation in advance of a court appearance shows accountability and it is viewed favorably.

The evaluation is conducted in a written format followed by an in-person, face-to-face interview with a clinician. A drug and alcohol test will be administered to assess recent or current alcohol or drug usage. A detailed case presentation is prepared and provided at the conclusion of the interview. In cases of multiple DUIs, further collateral information and interview may be required to complete the assessment. An evaluation consists of a one-hour appointment with a clinical evaluator who must be an approved provider by the Georgia DUI Intervention authority.

The potential to lose everything from work to the ability to drive and operate a motor vehicle becomes daunting because of how long a DUI can stay on your record. Although DUI’s are not taken lightly in the eyes of the court systems, there are proactive steps and measures set in place to help drivers who get behind the wheel while they are inebriated. Unlike other medical consultations, DUI evaluations allow violators the opportunity to talk about their current and past habits as well as personal relationships and work history with an end goal of figuring out how drinking/drug use has affected these parts of their life. Being honest during an evaluation doesn’t create more trouble for a violator, instead it creates a way for  that person to get proper treatment for the issues that led to a DUI charge.
