What to expect during the process
DUI Evaluations are one-on-one appointments with a member of our clinical staff. These appointments are done virtually or in-person and typically take 1 to 1.5 hours.  At the time of evaluation, you are required to provide a complete driving record from the state issued or if in Illinois a "court purposes" driving record or "abstract." You are also required to provide documentation of drug or alcohol testing or proof that you refused/failed to complete testing on the night of arrest. We are happy to walk you through this when you make an appointment. 

If your arrest was due to DUI there are five risk classifications which you can be assigned. 
Each risk level has state mandatory criteria. This is what we are going to determine during your evaluation.


  • Minimal Risk requires a client to have only one DUI in a lifetime, registered a BAC of .14 or below, and have no signs/symptoms of alcohol/drug abuse.   Minimal Risk recommendations require a 10 hour DUI Risk Reduction Education Class.
  • Moderate Risk requires a client to have only one DUI in a lifetime, BAC .15 to .19 or had refused/failed to complete chemical testing, and have none or only 1 sign/symptom of alcohol/drug abuse.  Moderate Risk recommendations include a 10 hour DUI Risk Reduction Education Class and 12 hours of “Early Intervention” which is similar to counseling.
  • Significant Risk requires a client to have one or more DUI arrests, a BAC .20 or more, and/or at least 2 but not more than 3 signs/symptoms of alcohol or drug abuse.  Significant Risk recommendations include a 10 hour DUI Risk Reduction Education Class, 20 hours of substance abuse counseling, and a continuing care plan (follow up recommendations). 
  • High Risk Non-Dependent requires a client to have three or more DUI arrests within 10 years of the most recent DUI arrest and not have more than 3 signs/symptoms of alcohol/drug dependency. High Risk Non-Dependent requires 75 hours of substance abuse counseling and a continuing care plan.
  • High Risk Alcohol/Drug Dependent would be any client who meets at least 4 clinical criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol/drug dependency. High Risk Chemical Dependency requires 75 hours of substance abuse counseling and a continuing care plan.
