FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Is LifeSwitch approved and on the state registry for administering DUI evaluations?
  Yes, but please confirm this or for any provider by going to the state registry link above
• How long does it take to complete the evaluation?
  The testing itself takes about 30 – 40 minutes. The clinical interview usually lasts about 30 minutes. So total time is roughly 60 to 75 minutes.
• What is the difference between taking the evaluation “in-office” and “all virtual”?
  For an “in-office” evaluation, you will come to our office in Peachtree City and take the testing on an I-pad or a computer. Testing will be followed by a face-to-face clinical interview with the counselor. “All Virtual” evaluations allow you to take the tests necessary online from your home or office. Afterwards, you will have the clinical interview conducted by the counselor via ZOOM.
• I didn’t get a DUI but the court/probation officer told me I needed to get a drug and alcohol evaluation completed. Is this the right evaluation?
  Yes. If the requirement for the evaluation comes from the court or probation officer, you must get it completed by a counselor on the State registry just like a DUI.
• My charges were originally for a DUI but they were dropped to reckless driving. Is this the right evaluation for me?
  Yes. If the requirement for the evaluation comes from the court or probation officer, you must get it completed by a counselor on the State registry just like a DUI.
• I didn’t receive a DUI but was told by my probation officer that I needed to have a drug and alcohol evaluation completed due to drug/alcohol related probation violation. Is this the evaluation I need?
  Yes. If the requirement for the evaluation comes from the court or probation officer, you must get it completed by a counselor on the State registry just like a DUI.
• I received a DUI in another state. Do I need to get this evaluation completed?
  It depends. If the court in the other state requires you to get a drug and alcohol evaluation then you should have it administered by a Georgia State Certified evaluator.
• I signed up online through the link provided and I have not received the documents I am supposed to sign electronically. Did I get lost in your system?
  Very unlikely. Did you successfully make your payment for the evaluation? You will not get the paperwork to sign until we have received payment. Has it been over 24 business hours since you signed up? We usually will get you the documents to sign within a few hours of your registration. Weekends and evenings will take a little longer. If it has been 24 hours since you registered and paid, please call our office and we will figure it out.
