WHAT IS ADSAC?
ADSAC is an acronym for Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Courses. The phrase is found in Oklahoma State Title 47 Motor Vehicle Code and originally referred to the entire process of the assessment, education and treatment. Authority for the ADSAC process comes from Oklahoma §43A Mental Health Law, §47 Motor Vehicle Code and §22 Criminal Code. ADSAC Assessment is a State Certified process in Oklahoma §450, Chapter 21 Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Courses (ADSAC) and Assessments.
The ADSAC mission is to promote public safety by reducing the occurrence of substance abuse and related high-risk behavior. Developed in accordance with nationwide research, the ADSAC assessment is the first step of an evidenced based process used to help define the type of recommendations that are required for DUI, DUI-D, DWI, and APC charges. Drug offenses requiring an individual to complete the ADSAC process include Possession, Transportation, Distribution and Paraphernalia charges.
The Primary Purpose of the ADSAC process is to Reduce Recidivism.
The ADSAC assessment is a substance abuse evaluation with a certified ADSAC assessor to assess a person's degree of abuse or dependence on alcohol and/or drugs. We begin by collecting information about your history, which may include areas that may not appear to be directly related to drug or alcohol use. Often, these questions assist us in determining circumstances related to a substance abuse problem.
We will use questions from standardized assessment tools that are research-based and tested to ensure accuracy. Utilizing the results of the assessment tools and information we gather, the appropriate recommendation level is determined, and referrals are made for completion of the ADSAC process.

ARE THE 10-HOUR AND 24-HOUR ADSAC THE SAME AS DUI SCHOOL?
After completing the ADSAC/DUI Evaluation, it often leads to what is commonly known as DUI school. DUI School in Oklahoma can be either a 10-hour or 24-hour ADSAC course. Your specific ADSAC assessment determines whether these are courses are required as part of your recommendations related to your ADSAC intervention level. These courses are primarily educational and are typically a component of the ADSAC process for most individuals.
While many individuals will be required to complete either a 10-hour or 24-hour ADSAC course (DUI school), there are also other interventions including services that may extend to residential treatment. Our goal is to assist you in initiating the ADSAC process. By the end of your assessment, you will know your recommendation intervention level and where you can access these services fro certified and accredited providers.

It is required for people that have been arrested and/or had a license suspension or revocation due to a Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Driving Under the Influence-Drug (DUI-D), Actual Physical Control (APC) or Driving While Impaired (DWI) offense.
WHY DO I NEED AN ADSAC/DUI ASSESSMENT FOR A DRUG CHARGE OR IF I WAS IN THE CAR BUT NOT DRIVING?
You may need an ADSAC/DUI assessment even if you were not the driver, as motor vehicle laws for non-drivers can still impact your license. Additionally, certain non-driving laws may have consequences for your driving privileges. Furthermore, you might have been referred to complete the assessment by probation, parole, the court, or an attorney as part of your legal case.

TELEHEALTH VS. ONLINE
Sometimes, even within our field, there is confusion regarding terminology. You might hesitate to schedule a telehealth appointment because you assume it's the same as online services. You might have also experienced the frustration of investing time and money in an online provider who never actually met with you to provide the services you needed. Now, you're seeking a qualified service to ensure you reach your goals.
At ADSAC Oklahoma, we are careful to make the distinction between online and telehealth. Here is a breakdown of the differences between the two:
Telehealth (Synchronous):
At ADSAC Oklahoma, we are careful to make the distinction between online and telehealth. Here is a breakdown of the differences between the two:
Telehealth (Synchronous):
- Definition: Telehealth refers to the provision of healthcare services remotely using technology, typically in real-time. This means that you and your healthcare provider engage in a live, interactive session.
- Example: If you have a telehealth appointment, you and your therapist, doctor, or counselor would meet at a scheduled time through video conferencing or phone call. It's similar to an in-person appointment, but it takes place remotely.
- Definition: Online services, in this context, typically refer to asynchronous interactions, meaning that there isn't a requirement for both you and the service provider to be present at the same time.
- Example: Online services could include sending messages or emails to your healthcare provider, using web-based platforms or apps to record and share information about your health, or accessing self-help resources and materials.
CAN I DO MY ADSAC ASSESSMENT OR DUI ASSESSMENT ONLINE?
Online assessments are not accepted by Oklahoma!
If you are not a resident of Oklahoma, you must obtain advanced approval to use a provider outside of Oklahoma. Furthermore, most states also regulate this process and specifically exclude online services in their state laws concerning DUI and other court-related assessments and recommendations.
Drug and alcohol evaluations are clinical assessments addressing drug and alcohol diagnoses. Each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia regulate the licensure or certification of programs and individuals who offer substance use disorder (SUD) treatment which includes assessment. Providers that have the appropriate credentials are transparent with their education, training and qualifications, clearly display them, and do not make this information difficult to find.
For individuals residing outside of Oklahoma, please be aware that Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services has issued guidance that service can be conducted via telehealth by providers certified in Oklahoma. You can visit their website for more details.

CAN I DO MY CLASSES ONLINE?
Online classes are not accepted by Oklahoma! Online in it's truest form would be something you would be doing where you and the provider were not present in-person or on video at the same time. The exclusion of online services is also true for most states other than Oklahoma as nearly all states have the same restrictions on online services for court/driver's license purposes.
Telehealth services that are done live with HIPAA-compliant video technology by state certified providers are accepted in Oklahoma. Most other states also accept another state’s certified process.
Online classes cannot be used to obtain your Completion Certificate with the Red Stamp. Most states explicitly exclude online services in their state laws related to DUI and other court-related classes and recommendations.
We will provide you with three providers where you can complete your required recommendations. We make every effort to offer providers who also offer telehealth services to enhance the convenience of scheduling and attendance from your location.
Exercising heightened caution is imperative when dealing with online providers who assert claims of being "certified," "approved," or employ phrases like "accepted in 48/50 states" along with promises of a "money-back guarantee." Frequently, upon closer scrutiny of the terms and conditions, you may discover that the onus falls upon you to confirm that their courses align with your specific needs and requirements, and once you pay or start their service you forfeit the option of a refund even if it is not accepted by the entity requiring your participation.
In circumstances where crucial details like the provider's name, credentials, physical office location, and other pertinent information are not readily available, it is strongly recommended to refrain from engaging with such providers. Licensed and certified professionals usually have a legally bound duty under licensing and certification laws to be transparent with this information prior to the start of your services and before any payment is made. This should be found in what is commonly known in documents such as “fee agreement” and “professional disclosure” documents that legitimate providers would have you review and sign before services and payments would ever commence, regardless of the providers state of practice or license/certification type.
All providers certified in the state of Oklahoma are mandated to maintain a physical business presence within the state. Our various licensing and credentialing bodies have established standards that necessitate the inclusion of our credentials and license information on our marketing materials. Furthermore, this information is required to be disclosed to you in our professional disclosure, which is included in the ADSAC Oklahoma intake packet and is available for your review before you complete the booking process.

I WAS NOT DRIVING OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANYTHING, BUY MY DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS REVOKED. WHY IS THAT?
The arrest that has affected your license may be related to a possession charge. It's important to note that even if you were a passenger in a vehicle, you could still face a drug or alcohol charge without being the one driving, and this can have repercussions on your license due to various applicable laws.
MY LICENSE HAS NOT BEEN SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, BUT MY ATTORNEY TOLD ME TO GET THIS DONE ANYWAY. WHY SHOULD I DO IT?
Your attorney's advice to undergo a DUI assessment even when your license hasn't been suspended or revoked is likely a proactive step to address any potential legal issues or concerns related to your DUI case. Here are a few reasons why it may be beneficial:
- Preventative Measure: Getting a DUI assessment done preemptively can help you address any underlying issues related to alcohol or substance use. This can demonstrate to the court that you are taking proactive steps to address the problem, which may work in your favor during legal proceedings.
- Potential Reduction in Penalties: In some cases, completing a DUI assessment and any recommended treatment or education programs can lead to a more favorable outcome in court. It may be viewed as a sign of responsibility and a commitment to making positive changes.
- Professional Guidance: DUI assessments are typically conducted by trained professionals who can assess your situation objectively. They can provide insights and recommendations that can be valuable for your overall well-being and legal case.
- Legal Compliance: Your attorney may advise this as a way to ensure that you are in compliance with the law and any potential future court orders. It's better to address these matters proactively than wait for potential legal consequences.
- Building a Strong Defense: By undergoing a DUI assessment and following any recommendations, you may strengthen your defense strategy. It can demonstrate that you are taking your situation seriously and actively working to avoid future issues.

We enjoy working with attorneys to help clients complete these requirements quickly to not just help with license reinstatement but to also show progress to the court in resolving any problems related to use and/or addiction.

I DON'T LIVE IN OKLAHOMA. DO I STILL NEED THIS ASSESSMENT?
Yes, the Interstate Driver’s License Compact is an agreement between participating states to share information regarding certain types of convictions, including DUI and DWI convictions. These type of arrests typically result in a hold on your license by the state where the arrest occurred until it is cleared up with that state. You can also clarify this with your attorney.

WILL OKLAHOMA FIND OUT IF I GOT ARRESTED IN ANOTHER STATE?
It's likely that there's an Interstate Driver’s License Compact agreement among participating states, facilitating the sharing of information regarding specific convictions, such as DUI and DWI convictions. Typically, these types of arrests lead to a suspension of your license by the state where the arrest occurred, and the hold remains until resolved with that state. The state imposing the hold may also report it to the state where you currently hold a license. We recommend discussing this matter with your attorney for further clarification.
WHY DO I NEED TO COMPLETE AN ADSAC ASSESSMENT IF I WAS ARRESTED IN ANOTHER STATE BUT NOW LIVE IN OKLAHOMA?
If Oklahoma has required you to complete this assessment, it signifies that your arrest is currently obstructing you from obtaining an Oklahoma driver's license. However, if another state has directed you to complete the assessment in Oklahoma, they are essentially instructing you to undergo the official process in the state where you currently reside. This is typically the initial step in resolving any hold they may have placed on your license in their state.
Please refer to our list of state resources, which includes agencies from other states that can provide you with information and resources related to their respective DUI assessment and reinstatement procedures. Many states often grant approval for individuals residing in Oklahoma to complete the official ADSAC process, with the additional requirement of fulfilling certain steps they may have outlined to finalize the process.

WILL THIS ASSESSMENT MEET MY REQUIREMENTS FOR ANOTHER STATE THAT HAS A HOLD ON MY LICENSE?
Each state has distinct requirements, and the process is overseen by a state entity. It's crucial to ensure you have obtained prior verification or approval to complete the ADSAC process in Oklahoma. We have regular interactions with certain states and can offer immediate guidance. In some cases, you may need to register in advance for their state's process to monitor your progress, while others may simply require an additional letter from the assessor after you've fulfilled all recommendations. However, the responsibility lies with you to ensure that you have obtained the necessary approval.
I WAS REFERRED BY A STATE AGENCY IN ANOTHER STATE TO GET THIS ADSAC / DUI ASSESSMENT
If you have already received approval from an agency in another state to complete the ADSAC process in Oklahoma, please ensure you share that information with the provider. You can also input this information when booking your appointment. It's important to retain any paperwork provided by the agency, as these documents are significant and may need to be shared with our staff to complete and submit them to the out-of-state agency.
CONFIDENTIALITY
We understand the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As a provider, we adhere to strict confidentiality requirements and privacy standards, including those outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), 42CFR Part 2, and 45CFR Parts 160 & 164.
IS AN ADSAC ASSESSMENT CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes, indeed! While you may be referred to our services by a legal entity, it's important to emphasize that these services belong to you. We maintain strict confidentiality and do not disclose any information without your explicit signed disclosure and release.
CAN SOMEONE ELSE BE IN MY ADSAC ASSESSMENT WITH ME?
The assessment is conducted in a one-on-one setting to ensure the accuracy and privacy of the information shared. Having a third party present may compromise the confidentiality and objectivity of the assessment process. Therefore, it's typically not allowed for third parties, such as friends or family members, to be present during your assessment, especially when the assessment is intended to provide an unbiased evaluation of your situation. If you have specific concerns or questions about this policy, it's advisable to discuss them with the assessment provider or your attorney for clarification.
WILL YOU SEND THE COPY OF THE ADSAC ASSESSMENT TO MY ATTORNEY OR PROBATION FOR ME?
We will facilitate the sharing of your ADSAC assessment with your attorney or probation officer. Rather than sending physical copies, we have a convenient digital solution. The assessment will be uploaded to your secure client portal as a PDF document.

WILL I HAVE TO DO ANY OTHER CLASSES AFTER COMPLETING THE ADSAC ASSESSMENT?
Yes, in most cases, you will need to complete additional classes or interventions after the ADSAC assessment to facilitate the reinstatement of your license. However, there may be exceptions if you have already completed a prior intervention that fulfills or exceeds the requirements outlined in your ADSAC recommendation. The ADSAC assessment will be used to determine the specific recommendations and if any recommendations that you have previously completed will be able to to be utilized as the prior interventions to fulfill completion of the ADSAC requirements.
IS THERE A AWAY TO GET AN ADSAC ASSESSMENT THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE COMPLETION OF ANY CLASSES OR OTHER SERVICES?
In most cases, you will need to complete additional classes or interventions after the ADSAC assessment to facilitate the reinstatement of your license. Even if you have previously completed interventions that may meet or exceed the requirements outlined in your ADSAC recommendation, it will be determined during the assessment whether those prior interventions can be used. The assessment remains a necessary step in the process to evaluate your specific situation and provide guidance on the appropriate next steps.
WHAT IF I DON'T AGREE WITH THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT?
If you disagree with the results of the assessment, you have the option to obtain a new assessment. You can choose to get a new assessment from our provider at a later date, or you may choose to seek one from a different provider. However, please note that obtaining a new assessment comes at the cost of a new assessment.
MY FRIEND GOT AN ASSESSMENT AND DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE
- It's important to note that the outcome your friend experienced, where they didn't have to do anything else after the assessment, may be due to the possibility that they did not obtain the correct assessment or were getting a different type of assessment. All ADSAC assessments come with specific requirements and recommendations. There is no outcome that is absent of at least educational components.
RETURN ORIGINAL CERTIFICATES TO YOUR ASSESSOR TO OBTAIN THE COMPLETION CERTIFICATE WITH THE RED STAMP

ADSAC assessments are considered expired/invalid and a new assessment is required if resulting recommendations are not initiated within six (6) months of the date of the assessment. This expiration is part of state law and cannot be extended. You will have to acquire and pay for a new assessment.
IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO ADSAC?
There are no alternatives to completing ADSAC where it is required by law in Oklahoma. There may be unique situations where one is only required to complete the ADSAC assessment and is able to obtain their completion certificate after the assessment based on prior interventions they completed such as residential treatment at an accredited facility, completion of phase three (3) of Drug/DUI Court, or completion of Oklahoma Department of Corrections Substance Abuse Treatment Program. However, there is no substitute to the ADSAC process for driver's license reinstatement in the state of Oklahoma.
WHAT IF I WENT TO TREATMENT AFTER I WAS ARRESTED?
Prior Interventions:

During your assessment, your ADSAC assessor will discuss any of these services you may have completed to determine if they may qualify as Prior Interventions that could fulfill your ADSAC recommendation requirements. This could enable you to obtain your Completion Certificate with the Red Stamp, provided you can provide the required documentation from those services.

With most states, there are often two or more agencies/entities involved in clearing up issues related to drug and alcohol related charges involving vehicles. The first is the motor vehicle authority of the state and the second usually is the authority that certifies and licenses the behavioral health providers that conduct assessments and counseling interventions in the state. This can often create some confusion amongst the public when they are contacting different agencies and getting variations in information. This can also be an area where it can prove to be very beneficial to secure adequate legal counsel while clearing up necessary requirements.
