Why It’s Important…

Coming to an assessment with everything required makes the assessment experience much better, faster, and more comprehensive. If you’re not sure you need to bring a certain type of paperwork, bring it. It’s better to have too much information rather than not enough. Click here to print an Assessment Checklist.

Things to Remember When Coming for an Assessment:

1. Be prepared to stay approximately 2-3 hours for the entire assessment process. Do not bring children with you.
2. Come 15-20 minutes before appointment time to complete initial paperwork.
3. Bring all required paperwork (especially DWI including BAC at time of arrest, court/arrest related), all medication, and current Medicaid or insurance card.  If you do not have your documentation, you will need to obtain a copy of it from the county clerk’s office.  If your records are no longer available, you will need to obtain a written statement from the clerk’s office saying that the records are not available.
4. If you have been assessed elsewhere, you must have documentation from the prior assessor including the date of your assessment and the treatment or education recommendation.  DWI assessments are valid for 6 months.  If you have not entered treatment within 6 months of your assessment, a new assessment will be required.
5. Call to let us know if you are unable to keep your appointment.
6. Bring assessment fees:
   1. General $100
   2. DWI $100 for each outstanding DWI + $10 for driving record
   3. Out of State DWI $100 + $75 processing fee + $10 for driving record.

Must bring required paperwork from the other state.
(Some states may have additional charges)

My story begins at the detox on Billingsley Road. While I was there, it was suggested to me that I go to the outpatient treatment program (SACOT) at Anuvia. I thought SACOT was only offered at the Men’s Shelter, so this information helped, but I didn’t go.
