Were you asked to get an evaluation?
An independent evaluation looks at your history with alcohol and other substances and where things stand today. It includes a clinical interview, standardized screenings and written treatment recommendations.
You or your attorney can submit the report as supporting documentation for a license reinstatement or hearing.
If the report recommends education or treatment, I help you connect with it. A recommendation is more useful when you have a way to follow through.

Common questions
Does this evaluation satisfy 24Q requirements?
No. It is used as collateral clinical documentation. Please confirm with the RMV or your attorney what your case requires.
What is a 24Q assessment?
A 24Q assessment is a specific assessment that Massachusetts law requires after certain OUI offenses. It is done by the Department of Public Health or a court-approved program. My evaluation is separate and does not take its place.
How long does it take to get the report?
The written report is delivered within 5 to 7 business days of the interview.
Is the evaluation done online?
Yes. The interview is done by secure telehealth, so you can complete it from anywhere in Massachusetts.
Does insurance cover it?
No. The evaluation is a $400 flat rate and is not covered by insurance.
Who sees my report?
Your report is confidential. It goes to you and to the people you authorize in writing, such as your attorney.
Can you guarantee a particular outcome?
No. The evaluation is an independent clinical opinion. The report reflects what the assessment shows, and the RMV or the court makes its own decision.
