DUI Assessments

DUI Assessments at Universal Alternatives are designed to do more than simply check a box for the court-they give you a clear, honest picture of where you stand and what needs to happen next. As an experienced behavioral health and criminal justice professional, I conduct each evaluation with the care and precision Washington courts and the Department of Licensing expect, while still treating you with respect and dignity.

During your assessment, we walk through your driving record, substance use history, physical and mental health, and any prior treatment. You are not interrogated; you are heard. By the end, you will know exactly whether education, such as ADIS, or a higher level of treatment is recommended, and why. This clarity helps you plan your next steps, reduces guesswork with attorneys or probation, and can prevent costly delays in your case.

You benefit from an evaluator who fully understands how Washington State's DUI laws, deferred prosecution options, and licensing rules fit together. That means your assessment and formal written report are structured in a way courts recognize and respect, while still reflecting your unique situation and strengths-not a generic template.

For many clients, this appointment becomes a turning point. Instead of feeling lost in the legal system, you leave with a roadmap: concrete recommendations, realistic options, and support to move forward. We offer both in-person and virtual appointments when allowed, so you can complete your assessment promptly, even with work or family responsibilities.

If you are facing a DUI or related charge, we will help you turn this requirement into an opportunity-to meet your obligations, protect your future, and begin real change on your terms.
