Impaired Driver Evaluation
Impaired Driver Evaluation Process
The Impaired Driver Evaluation serves as a crucial screening tool to estimate the risk level among individuals convicted of impaired driving offenses. It helps identify potential service needs, assess responsivity to intervention efforts, and evaluate the impact of their behaviors on traffic and public safety. This evaluation is not covered by insurance and must be paid for prior to beginning evaluation.
Important Note: We do not determine your eligibility to regain your driver’s license. Our role is to inform the Department of Motor Vehicles of our treatment recommendations and, if applicable, the completion of treatment.
For questions about whether this evaluation is right for you or to schedule your evaluation, please contact your local representative.

*The IDS system provides your clinical evaluator with essential information pertaining to history of clinical evaluations and treatment associated with impaired driving violations, a current driving abstract, and general reports to assist in client record management. Utilizing the IDS system, your clinical evaluator will communicate directly with the DMV to provide required documentation to determine the process for obtaining your license.
