Non-DUI Assessments & Drug Screens

Overview

Over the years LifeSwitch has administered hundreds of assessments for reasons outside the criminal spectrum. Here are just a few of the events that would create a need for a thorough drug and alcohol evaluation:

All drug & alcohol assessments include a testing instrument(s) and a clinical interview by a Master Addiction Counselor (MAC). Which tests are used and what questions are asked in the interview can be customized to meet the specific goals of the doctor, mental health professional or public/private business entity.

Our standard assessment includes a screening for anxiety (Beck’s Anxiety Inventory or BAI), depression (Beck’s Depression Inventory–II or BDI-2), childhood trauma (Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACE) and drug and alcohol use and severity (Adult Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory – 4 or SASSI-4).

Drug Screening

As part of the assessment we can add a 5-panel or 10-panel urine drug screening including additional tests for alcohol and drugs like Fentanyl and kratom. These are instant results test which have a 93% to 97% accuracy rate. When we have a non-negative reading we redo the screening at no additional charge to confirm the original result.
