Does my insurance pay for my chemical health assessment?
Yes, in many cases, your insurance will cover diagnostic assessments. Our dually licensed providers can assess your chemical health and make recommendations for court or treatment requirements. However, some clients choose to pay out of pocket for added confidentiality or to avoid having a diagnosis on their medical record.
Will my assessment be accepted by courts or the DMV for my DUI?
Absolutely. Our licensed providers are fully qualified to conduct assessments and make recommendations for any chemical health concerns, including those required for legal reasons, such as a DUI.
How long is the turnaround on a Chemical Health Assessment?
Turnaround times vary, but our aim is always efficiency. Typically, we strive for a 5-7 day turnaround, contingent on the client completing paperwork promptly and collateral contacts (like family members or probation officers) responding quickly. Collateral contact information is a state-mandated requirement for completing the assessment.
Will I have to go to treatment if I get a DWI or other legal issue?
Not necessarily. Our approach is to provide as many options as ethically possible. While treatment is sometimes necessary, we also offer online educational programs and individual counseling as alternatives, especially for clients with milder cases commonly seen in legal scenarios. Further, we never force clients to partake in our services. We may offer them, but know we will refer you out at your request if you feel our programs do not best suit your needs.
Are therapy services covered by insurance?
Most therapy services at Hybrid Counseling are covered by insurance. We work with a wide range of insurance providers to ensure that our clients can use their benefits for the care they need. For specific coverage details, please contact us directly.
What is the difference between a Chemical Health Assessment and a Rule 25 Assessment?
In essence, the terms 'Chemical Health Assessment' and 'Rule 25 Assessment' are interchangeable. Historically, in Minnesota, 'Rule 25' referred to legislation that provided funding for treatment. To qualify for this funding, individuals were required to undergo a Rule 25 assessment, which is essentially a Chemical Health Assessment. While the term 'Rule 25' is no longer officially used in Minnesota, it remains a familiar term among clients and professionals due to its longstanding usage. So, whether you come across 'Rule 25 Assessment' or 'Chemical Health Assessment,' you’re essentially looking at the same evaluation process, just under different names.
