Screening and Evaluation Services

DUI Screening
We are state-licensed to provide DUI Screenings for the MVD and for the Courts.  This DUI screening satisfies the AZ MVD’s requirement for an alcohol or other drug screening.  A DUI screening is required for a driver charged with a DUI, to obtain a restricted license, or to have their suspended license reinstated.  The screening also satisfies the court’s requirement for a DUI screening upon conviction of a DUI.

MVD DUI Evaluations
We provide evaluations for a driver whose license has been revoked by the AZ MVD due to a DUI.  This MVD DUI evaluation, by a licensed substance abuse counselor, is required in order to have a revoked driver’s license re-instated.

Out of State Evaluations
We provide evaluations for drivers who have to satisfy the requirements of other states.  We will determine the treatment required by another state, and/or assist in the re-instatement of a driver’s license following revocation..  We handle all paperwork associated with the state to ensure all requirements are met.

Other Screenings and Evaluations
We provide screenings and evaluations required by probation, employers, ADOT, professional associations, etc.  We will conduct the evaluation and make recommendations, referrals and provide the necessary documentation to the client and applicable agencies or organizations.
