Substance Use Evaluations
A substance abuse evaluation is a clinical tool to determine what is going on with a person who may be struggling with addiction. Additionally, an evaluation may include questions that can identify any coexisting conditions that need co-occurring disorder treatment, such as a mental or physical health issue.
24Q Evaluations
Section 24Q of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws mandates that a person convicted of DUI or assigned to a program in a DUI case whose blood alcohol level was .20 or greater shall “complete an alcohol or drug assessment.” … The assessment shall include the level of the offender’s addiction to alcohol or drugs and the recommended course of treatment. Both the assessment and recommended course of treatment shall be reported to the court.
