Alcohol and/or Drug Assessment

An alcohol/drug assessment is an evaluation by a certified professional mental health practitioner that is licensed by the state of Arkansas to administer alcohol/drug assessments. The selection of the practitioner is the choice of the student. SEAR does offer a licensed professional on campus that can do the assessment and provide follow-up services that work within the student's schedule. For a complete list of local places, contact the Office of Student Accountability. Following completion of the assessment, the agency conducting the assessment will make a recommendation regarding the course of treatment that best fits the outcome of the assessment. It is the responsibility of the student to complete all recommendations and provide documentation of completion for both the outcome of the assessment and the recommended course of treatment. Students will be provided 30 days to complete the assessment, and the deadline for the course of treatment deadline will be based on practitioner recommendations.
