ADSAC or DUI Assessment is a major step towards reinstating your driver’s license after losing it as a result of DUI, DWI, APC, DUID, Possession of CDS, or any other alcohol or drug-related offense. In this case, Oklahoma Statute 47-6-212.2 requires you to complete alcohol and drug education classes or a substance abuse treatment program. These can range from a 10-hour ADSAC course to Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). In order to determine which intervention level to place you, you will meet with a Certified ADSAC Assessor who will utilize standardized assessment instruments as approved by the Oklahoma Department of Mental and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) for this purpose. Chidi Ndubueze is a Certified ADSAC Assessor in Oklahoma State. She has several years of experience providing ADSAC Assessments. Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services approved Telehealth for ADSAC Assessments. Chidi currently provides both in-person and telehealth services for alcohol and drug assessments through a HIPAA Compliant platform.
ADSAC FAQs
What is ADSAC Assessment?
ADSAC stands for Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Course. This is a substance abuse educational class that is mandatory for those whose drivers licenses have been suspended/revoked due to DUI, APC, DWI, DUID, CDS, or other alcohol or drug-related offenses. The ADSAC assessment is an evaluation conducted by a Certified ADSAC Assessor to determine what intervention level you fall under.
Who needs ADSAC Assessment?
If your license is revoked or suspended by the Department of Public Safety (DPS or DMV) due to DUI, DWI, APC, DUID, Open-Container, Possession of CDS, or other alcohol or drug-related offenses, the assessment is one of the first steps in the process of getting your license reinstated.
How much is the ADSAC assessment?
$160 (if date of offense is after November 1, 2008) or $175 (if date of offense is prior to November 1, 2008).
Do I need to complete any classes after the ADSAC assessment?
If your license is revoked or suspended, yes, you will need to complete some classes or intervention after the assessment, in order get your license reinstated, unless you have already completed a prior intervention that meets or exceeds your ADSAC recommendation.
Do you provide the 10-hour or 24-hour ADSAC courses?
I only administer alcohol and drug assessments to determine the level of intervention needed. I will provide you with a recommendation form or court report at the completion of your assessment. I will also provide you with multiple referrals to Certified ADSAC Facilitators in Oklahoma, where you can complete your ADSAC classes.
Is ADSAC the same as DUI Assessment?
Some refer to it as ADSAC while others refer to it as DUI assessment but they are the same.
How long does ADSAC assessment take?
It depends on the individual. Give it at least 1.5 hours. Some complete the evaluation process faster, some take longer.
Is there a place where I can take the ADSAC assessment cheaper?
The fee is set by the state and is the same everywhere.
Is the Assessment all I need in order to get my license reinstated?
In most cases, no. If your license is revoked due to a DUI, DWI, APC, DUID, or other alcohol or drug related offenses, the assessment will determine a level of intervention to place you. You will need to follow through and complete the recommended classes or treatment program before we can issue you the certificate of completion, also known as the red stamp. However, if you have already completed a prior intervention that meets or exceeds your recommendation according the ODMHSAS guidelines, then we will issue you the red stamp.
Can I possibly not complete any classes after the ADSAC assessment?
Yes, you can obtain your red stamp same day if you meet the following criteria:
You’ve already completed a substance abuse course or treatment that meets or exceeds your recommendation. And you brought the proof of completion to your assessment.
You have completed at least phase-3 of Drug Court.
Your license got revoked, or the offense was committed prior to June 30, 2003, and you don't have any pending alcohol or drug-related offenses.
How do I know what classes or how many hours to complete in order to get my license back?
The ADSAC assessment determines what intervention/classes, and how many hours you will need to complete.
Can I use ADSAC assessment for DHS?
Consult with your case worker first to make sure they don’t require ODASL or other forms of assessment.
