DUI / DUII Evaluations, Assessments & Treatment

Starting Point, Inc. provides court-approved DUI/DUII services in Washington and Oregon, helping individuals meet applicable court, treatment, and licensing requirements. We are committed to providing professional evaluations, education, treatment, and support while helping participants understand the consequences of impaired driving and make responsible choices moving forward.

DUI / DUII Evaluations & Assessments

A DUI/DUII substance use evaluation or assessment appointment generally takes approximately 1.5 hours with the evaluator.

To complete an evaluation through Starting Point, participants MUST provide:

A current copy of their driving record

A copy of the police report related to the DUI/DUII

A urinalysis (UA) or oral swab

For Oregon DUII cases, the ADSS screening, when applicable

Starting Point requires a UA or oral swab as part of every DUI/DUII substance use evaluation, regardless of the state in which the DUI occurred.

Additional documentation may be requested depending on the individual’s court, state, probation, or licensing requirements.

Starting Point takes pride in providing timely service. Once all required documentation, testing, and information have been received, evaluations are generally completed and submitted to the appropriate authorized parties within 2–4 business days.

Have questions about your DUI/DUII requirements? Contact Starting Point, Inc. and let our team help you determine your next steps.

Telehealth Services

Access Care from Anywhere

 

Convenient Live Telehealth Services

Our Live Telehealth services provide flexible access to eligible evaluations, education, counseling, and treatment programs, making it easier to meet applicable requirements remotely.

If you received a DUI in Washington State but now live in another state, Starting Point may be able to help you complete your Washington evaluation, education, and treatment requirements through Live Telehealth without having to travel back to Washington.

If you live in Washington or Oregon but received a DUI in another state, we may also be able to work with the out-of-state court, probation department, licensing agency, or other requesting authority to help you meet that state’s DUI requirements.

Because requirements vary by state and individual case, our team will review the requirements you have been given and determine whether Starting Point’s services can satisfy them.

Wherever your DUI occurred, Starting Point, Inc. is here to help you understand your requirements and determine the next steps toward completing them.
