Making the Alcohol and Drug Evaluation Process Simple and Supportive: The AACS Atlanta Approach

Facing a court order or job requirement for an alcohol and drug evaluation can be overwhelming. Whether it’s due to a DUI charge, probation, or workplace policy, the process can feel intimidating and confusing. That’s why AACS Atlanta has made it a mission to turn what feels like a stressful obligation into a clear, supportive, and manageable experience.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through how AACS Atlanta simplifies the alcohol and drug evaluation process and ensures that you feel respected, heard, and empowered—every step of the way.

Understanding the Purpose of an Alcohol and Drug Evaluation

An alcohol and drug evaluation is a clinical assessment conducted by a licensed professional to determine:

  • If there is evidence of substance misuse or dependency
  • The severity of use (if applicable)
  • Whether any treatment or education is necessary
  • How to best support the individual going forward

Courts, probation officers, employers, or attorneys may require these evaluations to guide legal decisions or workplace reentry plans. But beyond compliance, an evaluation can be a valuable tool for self-awareness, recovery, and personal growth.

You can trust that your assessment will be handled professionally and meet all court and legal standards.

4. Simple, Streamlined Evaluation Process

Your evaluation includes:

  • A confidential interview with a licensed counselor
  • A review of your legal and personal history
  • Standardized screening tools (like ASAM or SASSI)
  • A discussion of your current lifestyle, choices, and goals
  • Personalized treatment or education recommendations (if necessary)

We take the time to explain everything clearly so you leave feeling informed, not confused.

That’s why we take a supportive and human-centered approach giving people the tools and encouragement they need to make informed decisions about their future.
