What should I expect during the ADSS Screening?

Your evaluator will collect a range of information including demographic information, details regarding the DUII including BAC, total number of DUIIs, previous alcohol and/or other drug arrests, and prior diagnosis or treatment for substance use. The evaluator will also go over the diversion or conviction process with you including DUII treatment services, DUII Victim Impact Panel, and Ignition Interlock Device.  

Will my insurance cover the screening fee?

No, insurance does not cover the cost of the screening fee, and you will be responsible for submitting payment for the screening fee prior to or at the time of your screening appointment. Most treatment providers accept insurance for DUII treatment services. If you have insurance, please research which treatment providers take your insurance prior to your ADSS screening, as you will be asked to select a DUII services provider at that time. Your evaluator will guide you with the referral process.

Can I switch treatment providers?

Yes, a person can switch to a different DUII approved services provider however please be aware that any treatment previously completed will not transfer to the new program and you will be starting over with the new program. You will be required to submit a written request for a re-referral, complete a new release of information (ROI), and submit payment for the $35 re-referral fee prior to being re-referred to the new DUII services provider. Please do not change DUII treatment providers without completing the re-referral process with our office first.

Why do I have to do this screening? Can I complete the screening with the treatment provider or another place that is closer to where I live?

ADSS screenings are not the same as a treatment evaluation. DUII treatment providers conduct a clinical assessment and treatment planning at the beginning of your treatment. Additionally, you must work with the Court's designated ADSS despite where you live as we are the Court monitoring agency and assist you with treatment and Diversion. requirements.
