Independent Substance Use Evaluations in Maine
A substance use evaluation can help provide a clear, objective understanding of an individual’s relationship with alcohol or other substances and determine whether treatment, education, or additional support may be appropriate.
I provide comprehensive substance use evaluations for adults throughout Maine, including individuals seeking an independent clinical assessment for court, probation, DHHS, or personal purposes. Each evaluation is approached with respect, professionalism, and without judgment.
Reasons You May Need an Evaluation
People seek substance use evaluations for a variety of reasons. An evaluation may be requested by another party or may simply be a step toward better understanding your own substance use and determining what support, if any, may be helpful.
- Court
- Probation
- DHHS
- Personal Purposes
What to Expect
The evaluation is an opportunity to talk openly about your substance use history, current circumstances, and any concerns that led to the evaluation. We will review relevant information together and discuss how substance use may be affecting different areas of your life.
Following the evaluation, I will provide clinical recommendations based on the information gathered. When the evaluation has been requested for court, probation, or DHHS purposes, appropriate documentation can be provided with your written authorization.
A Respectful, Judgement-Free Process
I understand that completing a substance use evaluation can feel stressful, particularly when it is connected to a legal or family matter. My role is to provide an independent clinical assessment, not to judge or make assumptions. You can expect to be treated with respect throughout the process and to have an opportunity to openly share your perspective.
