For detailed information on the DUI ADSAC Assessment process, click here to visit our DUI ADSAC Assessment Page.
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 an educational class that is mandatory for those whose driver’s licenses have been suspended/revoked due to DUI, APC, DWI, DUID, CDS, or other alcohol or drug-related offenses.
Who needs ADSAC Assessment?
If your license is revoked/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 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 before 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 interventions after the assessment to 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?
No. ADSAC Assessment is the evaluation process that determines which intervention level you fall under. ADSAC Classes are mandatory and recommended classes you must complete after your assessment. Your assessor will provide a recommendation form indicating which classes you must complete
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 state sets the fee and it is the same everywhere.
Is the Assessment all I need 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 the 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 was 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 to get my license back?
The ADSAC assessment determines which classes and how many hours you must complete.
Can I use the ADSAC assessment for DHS?
Please consult with your case worker first to ensure they don’t require ODASL or other assessment forms.
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.
Can I complete my ADSAC Assessment online?
The State of Oklahoma approves ADSAC Assessments and classes conducted over a telehealth/virtual platform and administered by a State-Certified ADSAC Assessor or facilitator. Chidi is a State-Certified ADSAC Assessor and currently offers telehealth or virtual sessions for ADSAC/DUI assessments through a HIPAA-compliant platform.
Note: There are many online alcohol and drug assessments and classes. If you need the assessment for your driver’s license reinstatement in the state of Oklahoma, it must be administered over Telehealth or a virtual platform by a State-Certified ADSAC Assessor.
Does Insurance Cover the Assessment?
No. Insurance does not cover the assessment. The fee is out of pocket. If part of your recommendation is counseling (inpatient or outpatient), your insurance might cover that based on your policy.
Does the $160 or $175 cover my assessment and the classes?
No. The $160 or $175 covers only your assessment. You will need to pay for your classes separately.
How much are the classes then?
The fee for your classes depends on your intervention level. It cannot be determined before your assessment. Once we know your recommended classes, we can then determine the cost.
