Take the first step toward clarity and recovery from substance abuse.
Life After Your Substance Abuse Assessment.
A Substance Abuse Assessment (sometimes called a drug and alcohol evaluation) is a confidential, structured process conducted by a licensed professional. The purpose is not to judge, but to gain a clear understanding of your history, current situation, and needs.
Think of it as a roadmap: the assessment helps determine whether treatment or education is recommended, and if so, what type and level of support will be most effective.
What to Expect During a Drug & Alcohol Assessment
Many clients feel anxious before their first assessment. That’s completely normal. At David L. Hill & Associates, we make the process straightforward and respectful.
Here’s what you can expect
Intake Interview
We’ll gather personal, family, and work history, focusing on your relationship with substances.
Screening Tools
Evidence-based questionnaires (such as AUDIT, DAST, or ASI) help measure patterns of use.
Discussion of Impact
We’ll talk about how alcohol or drug use has affected your life — relationships, work, and health.
Recommendations
Based on the results, we’ll provide professional guidance, whether that’s education, counseling, treatment, or documentation for legal or workplace purposes.
