Court-Referred & Diversion

AODA Assessments

Comprehensive alcohol and other drug assessments provided by licensed practitioners, in a welcoming, nonjudgmental space. Whether you were referred by a court, licensing board, employer, or another professional — or you simply want clarity for yourself — no referral is required.

The assessment at a glance

Who this is for

People fulfilling court, licensing-board, employer, or other referral requirements — and people seeking clarity about their own substance use. No referral required.

What it includes

An interview with a licensed practitioner covering your substance use history, screening tools, and a discussion of what the results mean for you.

What you receive

Clear recommendations, documentation for your referral source where authorized, and referral options matched to the level of care that fits.

Confidential

Alcohol and drug services provided by Hope Council are protected by federal and state confidentiality laws. Nothing is shared without your signed Release of Information.

What to Expect

The assessment is a structured conversation, not a test you can fail. A licensed practitioner walks through your history, current circumstances, and any requirements from your referral source, using approved screening tools to determine what level of support fits.

Recommendations can range widely depending on the results: education, outpatient treatment, day treatment or intensive outpatient, residential treatment, medication-assisted treatment, peer support, or family support. The goal is the same in every case — an honest picture and a next step that fits it.

Privacy and Releases of Information

Your assessment is confidential. Hope Council staff cannot share or discuss your information with anyone — including family members, employers, or referral sources — unless you have signed a Release of Information.


When your referral requires documentation (a court, licensing board, or employer, for example), you control that sharing: a signed release authorizes Hope Council to send your results and recommendations to the people you designate, and no one else.

What comes next

Education or treatment referral

If the assessment recommends education or treatment, Hope Council connects you to local providers and programs that fit the recommendation — and your insurance or payment circumstances.

Peer and recovery support

No-cost peer support and recovery coaching are available alongside or instead of formal treatment, in any stage of readiness.

Family support

If your family is affected, the Loved Ones Support Group and family services are available to them too — at no cost.

How to schedule

Call Hope Council at 262-658-8166 to schedule an assessment. Staff will confirm what to bring, any documentation your referral requires, and the fee and payment details that apply to your situation.

Common Questions

Do I need a referral?2026-07-08T14:19:47-05:00

No. Assessments are open to community members as well as people referred by courts, licensing boards, employers, and other professionals.

Will I receive treatment recommendations?2026-07-08T14:20:11-05:00

Yes. Every assessment results in clear recommendations — which may include education, treatment at an appropriate level of care, peer support, or other next steps — along with referral options to act on them.

Will my results be shared with anyone?2026-07-08T14:20:32-05:00

Only with your signed Release of Information. Federal and state confidentiality laws protect all alcohol and drug services at Hope Council; you decide who receives your results, including referral sources requiring documentation.

What does it cost?2026-07-08T14:20:49-05:00

Fee and payment details are confirmed when you schedule. Call 262-658-8166 and staff will walk you through what applies to your situation.
