Fast, Court-Accepted Drug and Alcohol Evaluations for MIP Charges

Under 21 and facing a MIP charge (minor in possession) for drugs or alcohol? This is a stressful situation—even more so if a court, school, or other authority has ordered you to get an independent drug and alcohol evaluation.

Don’t panic: the goal of an underage drug and alcohol assessment is to determine whether or not you may have a substance abuse issue that could benefit from treatment or education instead of a criminal sentence. Plus, with New Directions, getting that evaluation can be more convenient than you think.

Since 2010, our professional evaluators have provided thousands of assessments for clients like you. The services we provide are accepted by 750+ counties across 48 states—including the state of Texas. Here’s how it works.

How to Request Your Drug or Alcohol Evaluation for a MIP Charge

  • Register for a secure account online, call us at 1-800-671-8589, or visit one of our convenient kiosk locations to register
  • Complete the initial questionnaire online
  • Complete a 45- to 55-minute interview with one of our professional evaluators via phone or online video call
  • Forward any supporting documents (such as any forms required by the court or your school) to your evaluator
  • Receive your report by email to review and approve before forwarding or releasing to authorities (typically within five business days—rush service available)
