Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
