How Substance Abuse Evaluations Help

Evaluations provide an objective, evidence-based assessment of substance use and mental health. Judges and attorneys can use these reports to advocate for treatment over incarceration, reduce charges, or inform custody decisions.

Fact: Research shows that treatment significantly reduces repeat offenses. When individuals receive appropriate support, they are less likely to relapse or reoffend—improving public safety and outcomes.

We provide evaluations that meet court standards and offer treatment recommendations tailored to each individual.

Our Approach to Evaluation & Treatment

We aim to recommend the least restrictive treatment necessary. While we offer intensive outpatient services, we also partner with trusted residential programs when needed—connecting clients to the right level of care.
