An alcohol and drug assessment consists of a face-to-face clinical interview, at least two (2) testing instruments (a DRI or DQ and a TAAD, MAPP, NEEDS or JASAE), a biopsychosocial interview (ASI) and a closing summary in which the scoring of the tests, the conclusions and interpretations are presented to you so that you will understand the results of the assessment.
You have the right to understand the results of your testing and assessment, and how it will affect you. These assessment results will determine the level of education, treatment, or both, as part of the set of recommendations for reinstatement of your driving privileges and (if applicable) your court order.
This testing and assessment process is not a pass or fail process. There are no right or wrong answers, but to be accurately assessed, you need to be open and truthful in your responses. Your information is protected under Federal and State Law, which cannot be released without your written permission and may not be used to criminally prosecute you other than certain exceptions (including child abuse, elder abuse, medical emergency, and threats of harm to yourself or another person.) The process is intended to give you the right combination of services to help you avoid similar problems in the future.
This assessment process will take some time; about (2) to (3) hours. If you have problems with reading or comprehension, it may take longer. We will assist you as much as we can. Be sure to bring your reading glasses if you need them.
If you are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs at the time of your appointment for testing and assessment, you will be asked to make another appointment.
Your assessment testing and assessment documentation will be kept in this office for (6) years. If during that time you need another release of information, contact our office for help. Releases are only valid for (1) year.
Information verifying completion of the process will be forwarded to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety through the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
