Professional Substance Abuse & Addictive Disorder Court Assessments

The courts in Southern California have come to rely on our expertise and competence in providing the courts with accurate information regarding whether an individual meets diagnostic criteria for a alcohol and substance use disorder and, if so, what recommendations are the appropriate level of treatment and accountability. Psychological testing is notoriously inaccurate with addictive disorders due the denial inherent in addictive disorders . Our process of evaluation includes in depth interviews of the client, as well as, significant others in their life. These others may include family, friends and even employers. Our process of evaluation relies on obtaining information until a clear, unbiased picture develops from which to make a determination and recommendation.
