Reliable Drug & Alcohol Evaluation

A Substance Abuse Evaluation (SAE), also referred to as an Alcohol and Drug Evaluation, is a comprehensive assessment designed to determine the nature and extent of an individual’s use of mood-altering substances. The purpose of the evaluation is to identify any patterns of misuse and offer treatment or intervention recommendations when necessary.

What the Evaluation Covers:

Honesty during the SAE is essential. Full transparency helps the clinician provide accurate, appropriate recommendations. Inaccurate or incomplete information can result in misleading reports, leading to delays or the need for follow-up from your attorney or supervision officer.

Do not recommend. The lady that answers the phones is rude and the instructor allows no grace for when simple and innocuous life situations arise. Fully understand that they have course guidelines but there is seemingly a complete unwillingness to work with their customers who are paying their hard earned money for a service.

Haley Barrett is truly incredible. There are not enough good things to say about her. Her spirit, energy, and the way she teaches make you feel informed, supported, and genuinely engaged. She is so transparent and relatable, which really helps shift your mindset, even if you did not come into the class excited at first.

I took the 32 hour DWI class and cannot say enough positive things about the experience. Haley brings so much light into the room, and her passion for educating and spreading positivity truly shows. I wish her nothing but continued success on her journey.

Both Jai and Haley are very passionate about teaching this program. There is alot of helpful information in the form of a workbook and videos. Even though some of the information is several years old (like statistics) you are able to understand how serious drinking/ drug use and driving can effect your life and all the people around you. The program helps you to understand why you might relapse and ways to prevent future incidents.

Austin Parrish

Both instructors were great! They kept the class very interesting and informative.

Thank you John and I don't want to forget to thank Lori for walking us through this process and always being there for us.

Santana S

20:52 21 Jun 25

I took both the Drug offender program and the alcohol one for probation requirements and both instructors were really informative. John is an amazing guy with a sense of humor who also cares a lot about his class. Haley is also a very good instructor and her backstory being a former drug user makes the class more personal because she genuinely cares about helping people. I recommend the Alamo center for these classes because they’re informative, quick, and you can learn from the comfort of your own home. Thank you both 🙂

Cy Valdez

18:26 21 Jun 25

John is a great instructor! What made it great is that we got to interact with each other and it wasn’t just a bunch of slides and videos. There was a lot of discussion and I like that better. 10/10 recommend

I believe this is a great stepping stone for many people on the effects of drug and alcohol use that many may not have considered. The information could be updated as it is from 2011. Despite this, the overall presentation was very informative and helpful in giving some background to laws, regulations, and the actual affects drug and alcohol abuse has had on individuals in the class.

Chris Segura

Substance Abuse Evaluation & SASSI Screening

The Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) is a widely trusted tool used in substance abuse evaluations. At DWI Classes, we utilize the latest version—SASSI-4—to provide accurate, comprehensive assessments that cover the full spectrum of substance use disorders, from mild to severe as outlined in the DSM-5.
By using the SASSI-4, we gain valuable insight into your unique situation, helping us deliver tailored recommendations that support both legal compliance and long-term recovery.

Why Choose the SASSI-4 Evaluation?

The SASSI-4 is a clinically proven screening tool with a 94% accuracy rate, making it one of the most trusted methods for identifying substance use disorders. Designed for individuals aged 18 and older, it’s accessible even for those with a 4th to 5th grade reading level.

What the SASSI-4 Evaluates:
