Take action before court. Complete a voluntary online Alcohol/Drugs evaluation with a state-licensed LMHC and receive a written report within 48 hours.
A pre-court Alcohol/Drugs evaluation is a voluntary clinical evaluation you choose to complete before a court date, legal consultation, probation meeting, employer matter, or other formal proceeding. The purpose is to better understand relevant alcohol/drug concerns, document the clinical findings, and receive recommendations or next steps when appropriate.
The evaluation is completed online by a state-licensed Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) through a private video session. A written report is delivered within 48 hours of the completed evaluation.
The pre-court process is client-initiated and designed to help you prepare early, understand the findings, and consider next steps before court or another formal proceeding.
Completing an evaluation before court can give you time to understand the findings, discuss any recommendations, and make informed decisions before a hearing or formal proceeding. It also gives your attorney time to review the report if you choose to share it.
| Important
This evaluation does not guarantee acceptance by a court, probation office, employer, attorney, or agency and does not guarantee any legal result. Confirm specific requirements with the intended receiving party before booking. |
Pre-court means you choose to complete the evaluation before a court date or another formal proceeding. The purpose is preparation, understanding, and informed action.
An Alcohol/Drugs evaluation is a clinical assessment, not an informal questionnaire or a pass/fail test. A state-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) gathers relevant history, assesses current concerns, documents findings, and makes professional recommendations when appropriate.
This online Alcohol/Drugs evaluation is not the Florida DUI Program psychosocial evaluation. If you need an evaluation for a Florida DUI Program or a driver’s-license matter, confirm the specific program requirements before booking.
The evaluation can be completed entirely online from a private location.
If you want an Alcohol/Drugs evaluation completed before your court date or another formal proceeding, scheduling early gives you time to review the findings, consider recommendations, and discuss the report with your attorney if you choose.
