DrugEval can assist with many Oregon referrals. DrugEval does not replace Oregon’s formal DUII screening, approved DUII services program, or DUII Treatment Completion Certificate process when those requirements apply.
Can a substance abuse evaluation be completed online for an Oregon case?
Often, yes. DrugEval provides telehealth substance abuse evaluations for many eligible Oregon court, probation, attorney, employment, personal, and other legal referrals when an independent online evaluation is permitted.
Oregon DUII matters are different. People under a DUII diversion agreement or convicted of DUII must complete a screening interview with an Oregon Alcohol and Other Drug Screening Specialist (ADSS) and complete services through an approved DUII provider. DrugEval’s general telehealth evaluation does not replace that formal Oregon DUII process.
Reasons Someone in Oregon May Need an Evaluation
The wording on the referral matters. “Substance abuse evaluation,” “drug and alcohol assessment,” “substance use assessment,” and similar terms are often used for the same general type of clinical service, but some Oregon programs have their own specific rules.
Court or attorney request
An evaluation may be requested before a hearing, as part of a pending case, or because an attorney wants independent documentation of current substance use and clinical recommendations.
Probation or compliance requirement
DrugEval evaluations have been accepted for Oregon probation matters, including alcohol- and drug-related referrals. If you have questions about a particular probation requirement, check with the referring probation office.
Alcohol- or drug-related legal matter
Courts, attorneys, and probation officers may request an evaluation after an alcohol- or drug-related arrest, charge, probation matter, DUII, or other legal event. DrugEval evaluations have been accepted for these types of Oregon referrals.
Employment, family, or personal reasons
Non-DOT workplace evaluations, certain family-related matters, attorney referrals, and self-referred evaluations can also be appropriate reasons to complete an assessment.
Common Reasons for an Oregon Substance Abuse Evaluation
DrugEval can assist with many Oregon referrals. Formal DUII screening, DUII treatment or education, and DUII-related license restoration must follow Oregon’s approved ADSS and DUII services process when required.

Three Steps, Completed Online
The process is straightforward: complete the intake, meet by video, and provide any records needed for the evaluator to finish the assessment.
Book & complete the intake
Choose an appointment and complete the pre-evaluation questionnaire. Upload court, probation, attorney, treatment, or other relevant paperwork when you have it.
Meet with the evaluator
Attend a private video appointment with a credentialed substance abuse professional. The evaluator reviews substance use history, current functioning, referral circumstances, and other clinically relevant information.
Receive the written report
Once the required information is complete, the evaluator prepares a PDF report with findings and recommendations. Testing, missing records, or third-party verification can extend the turnaround time.
What the Evaluator Looks At
A substance abuse evaluation is more than a questionnaire or a drug test. The evaluator is looking at the overall pattern of alcohol and drug use, the consequences associated with that use, and whether the available information supports a clinical diagnosis or recommendation.
- Alcohol and drug use history
- Recent frequency and quantity of use
- Age of first use and periods of heavier use
- Tolerance, withdrawal, cravings, and control
- Prior counseling, treatment, education, or recovery involvement
- Relevant legal history and referral circumstances
- Prior DUII, drug-related, or alcohol-related incidents when relevant
- Family, relationship, work, health, or financial consequences
- Periods of abstinence and factors supporting stability
- Relevant medical and behavioral-health history
- Standardized substance-use screening instruments
- DSM-5 criteria when clinically applicable
- ASAM level-of-care considerations when needed
- Relevant records and collateral information
- Substance testing when required or clinically indicated

- Police report, citation, or case disposition when relevant
- Prior treatment or education records when relevant
- Recent toxicology results when relevant

Credentialed Substance Abuse Professionals
DrugEval evaluations are completed by professionals with recognized substance-use credentials. Credential types represented across our services may include CADC-I, CADC-II, CAADC, ICADC, CCS, CCJP, and DOT-qualified SAP credentials.
DrugEval evaluations are completed by credentialed substance abuse professionals. If a court, probation office, employer, licensing authority, attorney, or other agency gives you specific referral instructions, provide those instructions to DrugEval so they can be reviewed as part of the evaluation process.
A well-supported evaluation should do more than repeat answers from an intake form. It should consider the pattern of use, relevant consequences, available records, standardized screening results, and whether the information supports a diagnosis or level-of-care recommendation.

Often, yes. DrugEval provides telehealth evaluations for many eligible Oregon court, probation, attorney, employment, personal, and other legal matters when an independent online evaluation is permitted.
Does DrugEval complete the required Oregon DUII evaluation?
No. DrugEval does not replace the formal Oregon DUII screening and services process. People under a DUII diversion agreement or convicted of DUII must complete the required screening through an Oregon Alcohol and Other Drug Screening Specialist and receive services through an approved DUII provider.
What is an ADSS in Oregon?
ADSS stands for Alcohol and Other Drug Screening Specialist. Oregon courts designate ADSS providers to conduct DUII screening interviews, refer clients to approved DUII services providers, track progress, and report completion information to the court.
Can DrugEval complete a probation evaluation in Oregon?
Yes, in eligible cases. DrugEval may complete probation-related evaluations when telehealth is permitted and probation has not required an ADSS screening, an approved DUII services provider, or another specific local provider.
Can DrugEval help with Oregon driver’s-license reinstatement after a DUII?

How quickly will I receive my evaluation report?
Standard service typically targets about 48-hour delivery and expedited service about 24-hour delivery after the evaluation is complete. Missing records, testing, collateral information, or verification requirements can extend those timelines.
Will I have to take a drug or alcohol test?
Testing may be required based on DrugEval policy, the information obtained during the evaluation, or the referring authority’s instructions.
What documents should I provide?
Provide the court order, probation referral, attorney instructions, police or arrest records when available, or any Oregon DMV, ADSS, or DUII services paperwork related to the referral.
