Denver Client Experience
Colorado Assessments was where I turned when recommending a family member who was struggling to figure out where to go for a substance use evaluation in Denver after a DUI that occurred in another state. The provider was prompt, and my family member received a very professional evaluation report within days of meeting with Adam. I highly recommend Colorado Assessments.

Important DUI / DMV Distinction

A drug & alcohol evaluation is not the same as DUI / DWAI classes.

A substance use evaluation is a clinical assessment. It should not be assumed to replace separately required alcohol and drug education, therapy, treatment, monitoring, testing, probation conditions, or DMV requirements.

Colorado DMV separately describes Level I and Level II alcohol and drug education and treatment requirements. If your paperwork mentions a class, treatment track, enrollment requirement, or another program, send that requirement before scheduling.

Treatment / Monitoring Therapy, testing, monitoring, or treatment may also be separate requirements.
