Substance Use Evaluations (SUE’s) are also known as “drug and alcohol evaluations”, or “DUI assessments”. These are brief evaluations conducted by a licensed mental health provider with experience in the assessment and treatment of addiction issues.
Our SUE process consists of scheduling a 45 to 60 minute appointment. Intake documents must be completed prior, otherwise your appointment will be rescheduled. During the assessment your provider will conduct an evaluation which includes questions that measure your risk level. Following the appointment, your provider will complete a brief written report that will include a summary of your evaluation and treatment recommendations. Your completed report will be emailed to you within a week. We understand that often these evaluations are time sensitive due to scheduled court hearings. If you require an expedited evaluation, or report, please let us know during the initial scheduling process.
The cost for a Substance Use Evaluation and report is $450. Payment is due at the time of session. Follow-up evaluations and/or reports conducted within the first 6 months of the initial evaluation are $150 per update. The cost of evaluations are not reimbursable by insurance.
All appointments are virtual.
If you have any questions please email us.

There are several potential benefits that come from using virtual services. It allows therapists to connect with people who may otherwise not be able to access services, there is an opportunity for more flexibility in scheduling, and convenience in being able to connect from a space of your choosing.
When using online technology there is always the risk of security issues, as well as technical issues (phone not charged, computer or software not working, etc.).
In order to protect your confidentiality and to facilitate the security of your information as much as possible, here is a list of recommendations:
- Conduct your session in a private location where you cannot be heard by others. If privacy is an issue due to sharing living space with others, please let your counselor know ahead of time in order to discuss possible options.
- Use a private phone, tablet, or computer.
- Do not record any sessions (this violates HIPAA and may result in termination of services).
- Password protect any technology you will be interacting with your counselor on.
- Always log out, or hang up once your session is complete.
