What does a court-ordered alcohol assessment involve, and why is it important?

A court ordered alcohol assessment is a process in which an individual is evaluated to determine the extent of their alcohol use and its impact on their life. The assessment is typically conducted by a licensed professional, such as a counselor or therapist, who uses a combination of interviews, questionnaires, and psychological tests to gather information about the person's drinking habits, history of alcohol use, and any related behavioral or emotional issues.
