What to Expect

Court / Probation Evaluation Options
For most routine court, probation, diversion, sentencing, and attorney-referred matters, the Standard Substance Use Evaluation is the primary starting point. Higher-complexity matters may require a separately scoped Complex Legal Matter Evaluation.
Expanded multi-page clinical evaluation for court, probation, diversion, sentencing, DUI-related legal matters, attorney referrals, and other documentation-focused requirements.
Individually scoped substance use and clinical evaluation services for higher-complexity, attorney-involved, or justice-involved matters requiring broader clinical work.
The Basic option is a limited-scope, telehealth-only assessment designed for qualifying first-time Colorado driving offenses and certain Colorado DMV matters. Court and probation referrals generally begin with the Standard Substance Use Evaluation because they often require more detailed written documentation and clinical review. The requesting party's written requirements control the appropriate scope.
Complex Legal Matters
A Complex Legal Matter Evaluation may be more appropriate when the referral involves extensive or conflicting records, multiple parties, ongoing monitoring, repeated concerns, collateral information, substantial attorney involvement, or broader legal complexity that materially expands the clinical work.
