What Does a Substance Abuse Evaluation Consist Of? The Process and What to Expect
Substance abuse evaluations are meant to help individuals who have had some type of negative incident (an arrest, a fall or some type of accident, etc.) while they were suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Many people may be less coordinated or have poorer decision making skills while using alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications. This doesn’t mean they necessarily have a drug or alcohol “problem” but the situation may provide an opportunity to look more closely at the overall picture to get a professional’s opinion.
