Basic Substance Use Assessment
Brief self-report assessment and clinical opinion for straightforward Colorado DMV / DOR administrative needs.
Colorado Assessments provides professional drug, alcohol, and substance use evaluations for Denver-area clients who need documentation for court, probation, DUI / DWAI, DMV, attorneys, employment, or personal concerns. In-person appointments are available nearby in Englewood, with Colorado telehealth available when clinically appropriate and accepted.
Denver Evaluation Services
The right evaluation depends on who requested it and what needs to be documented. These core Colorado Assessments services have dedicated pages with additional information about each pathway.
Evaluations for court orders, probation, diversion, sentencing, attorney referrals, legal documentation, and other court-related substance use requirements.
Evaluation options for impaired-driving matters, Colorado DMV / DOR requirements, repeat offenses, driver-related documentation, and some out-of-state requirements.

Denver clients may be able to complete an evaluation by secure Colorado telehealth when remote completion is clinically appropriate and accepted by the requesting organization.
Transparent Private-Pay Pricing
Colorado Assessments offers different levels of substance use evaluation because a brief administrative need is not the same as a DUI, probation, attorney-referred, or documentation-heavy legal matter. Call or text if you are unsure which level matches your requirement.
Brief self-report assessment and clinical opinion for straightforward Colorado DMV / DOR administrative needs.
Detailed clinical evaluation with a multi-page written report and expedited report options.
Expanded evaluation for higher-stakes, attorney-involved, multi-party, disputed, or documentation-heavy matters.
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 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.
Colorado DMV — Alcohol & Drug Education / Treatment Information →What to Expect
The evaluation is designed to understand the referral question and relevant clinical circumstances—not to shame or judge the client. Send the requirement first whenever possible so the evaluation can match what is actually being requested.
Court, probation, DUI / DMV, attorney, employment, personal, or another referral reason.
Share your deadline and any court, probation, DMV, attorney, employer, or referral paperwork.
Relevant history, substance use, functioning, referral concerns, and appropriate clinical assessment information are reviewed.
The evaluator reviews the information and prepares the appropriate written findings and recommendations.
