- Moderate Risk
- Minimal Risk

Note: In all cases, it is at the discretion of the Court to determine what type of recommendation, if any, will ultimately become a part of the sanction for the DUI offense. However, if the drug and alcohol evaluation is for the Office of the Secretary of State in relation to the return of full or limited driving privileges, you will be required to complete any recommendations contained in the drug and alcohol assessment.
You have the right to refuse the completed alcohol and drug evaluation, to withdraw from the process at any time, or to seek a second opinion by obtaining another DUI evaluation. However, any information provided may be released to the Court or the Office of the Secretary of State, upon request. If the DUI evaluation and DUI alcohol assessment procedure is not completed, notice will be sent to the Court or the Office of the Secretary of State.
