By Michael Ward


Having the ability to drive a vehicle you own is a right people like to enjoy since it is more convenient than using the public transportation. Others even are driving as a profession such as delivering items or being a chauffeur for their clients. But you must have a license as well as follow traffic laws in order for you to do this.

It includes not driving when under the influence from dangerous substances because this may place you at risk including those around you. When you have caught or convicted of doing this crime, getting the alcohol and drug assessments Grand Rapids professionals are offering is required of you. This is for determining your habit of using them since several years ago until now.

You would be answering questionnaires first, which are standardized or not, in getting your basic information regarding the history of your alcohol and drug use. Various ones have differences but essentially ask questions on how they were used by you and their effects to you. Answering these allow the evaluators to have a point where they start further queries.

Most questionnaires are short and were researched on several participants to have a relatively reliable and accurate outcome. Some professionals will ask you also questions not related to your use of the substances. These are designed to find out if you were dealing with depression, unusual stress, anxiety, recent break up or other similar ones.

The professional will have read already your answers in the questionnaires before speaking with you but has avoided concluding based on their initial reading of them. They should start by having a neutral position and do not judge you basing on one incident or conviction. And they would allow you to explain some of the answers you wrote.

This is because some questionnaires do not allow you to write an explanation for your answers which is important at times. Doing so helps them to picture out more accurately our use of the substance and other questionnaires though have sufficient space for you to explain. You may tell them other essential information like how that incident or that legal violation happened.

Once the professional has finished reviewing your history as well as the incident, they would tell you how the use of the substance by you falls on the spectrum. After they shared their findings verbally to you, they will proceed to write the report to summarize the things they had found. This includes recommendations, if they have any, and what they recommend.

They will present you the report then give you the chance to respond about it so read that carefully and ensure it matches with the things discussed while you were interviewed. This prevents you to become surprised at court when it is presented there. Ask questions you might have of what were written there.

Discuss with them those things you think were not explained properly in the report. If also the details there are incorrect for you, so they could decide if changing them is appropriate. Disagreement is possible but read it to avoid being surprised.
