Court Ordered Assessment

Explore who you are today and who you want to be tomorrow.

Court ordered assessments are often sought for compliance with a court ordered evaluations or upon the recommendation of an attorney prior to court appearance. An evaluation consists of a face-to-face assessment during which information is collected about past and current charges and other personal history through a verbal interview and various written tests. Client must be prepared to answer questions regarding family history, employment history, mental health counseling history, use history, and medical history, including current prescription names, dosages, prescribing doctor’s name, address and phone number.

A personal interview with the client, family members, and other invested parties, along with administration of appropriate assessment instruments can often enhance the accuracy of assessments. The evaluator will make recommendations for any appropriate treatment or other resources which could be helpful in preventing future occurrences.
