How Much Does an ADSAC Assessment Cost in Oklahoma?
Updated: Oct 12
If you've been ordered by the court to complete an ADSAC assessment or need one to reinstate your Oklahoma driver's license, one of your first questions is probably, "How much does an ADSAC assessment cost?"
The good news is that Oklahoma has established a standard fee for ADSAC assessments, so you know what to expect before scheduling your appointment.
The cost of an ADSAC assessment in Oklahoma is:
$160 for offenses occurring on or after November 1, 2008.
$175 for offenses occurring before November 1, 2008.
These fees are established by Oklahoma law and administered through the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS). Certified ADSAC assessors cannot set their own assessment prices or add extra assessment charges.
At Step Three, Inc., we provide online ADSAC assessments throughout Oklahoma and in-person appointments in Broken Bow.
What Is an ADSAC Assessment in Oklahoma?
An ADSAC assessment is a state-required alcohol and drug evaluation that helps determine what education, counseling, or treatment services an individual may need following an alcohol- or drug-related driving offense.
ADSAC stands for Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Course, although the assessment is separate from the educational courses.
An Oklahoma ADSAC assessment may be required for individuals who:
Have been charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence).
Have been charged with DUI-D (Driving Under the Influence of Drugs).
Have been charged with APC (Actual Physical Control).
Have been charged with Possession
Have certain alcohol- or drug-related driving violations.
Need to satisfy a court or probation requirement.
Need to meet requirements for Oklahoma driver's license reinstatement.
The assessment must be conducted by a certified Oklahoma Certified ADSAC Assessor.
During the appointment, your assessor reviews your history, conducts a clinical interview, and uses approved screening instruments to determine appropriate recommendations.
Most ADSAC assessments take approximately 1½ to 2 hours, depending on your individual circumstances.
What Does the $160 ADSAC Assessment Fee Include?
The state-established ADSAC assessment fee covers the evaluation process, including:
Review of relevant court and offense information.
A confidential clinical interview.
State-approved alcohol and drug screening instruments.
Review of your alcohol and substance use history.
Evaluation of relevant risk factors and treatment needs.
Preparation of required assessment documentation.
Your ADSAC Referral and Recommendation Form.
Required reporting and recordkeeping.
Your assessor will explain your results and provide written recommendations identifying the services you must complete.
Important: The assessment fee covers the assessment itself. It does not include the cost of classes, counseling, or other services recommended following your evaluation.
What Additional Costs Should I Expect After My ADSAC Assessment?
Many people assume the $160 assessment fee covers everything needed to satisfy their Oklahoma DUI or driver's license reinstatement requirements.
However, the assessment is only the first step.
Based on your assessment results, you will be required to complete two or more of the following interventions, which include:
10-Hour ADSAC Course: An educational program addressing alcohol and drug use, impaired driving, and responsible decision-making.
24-Hour ADSAC Course: A more extensive educational program for individuals whose assessment indicates a need for additional intervention.
Victim Impact Panel (VIP): A program addressing the consequences of impaired driving on victims, families, and communities.
Substance Abuse Group: addressing alcohol or drug use.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP): Structured treatment for individuals requiring a higher level of care.
Residential Treatment: A structured treatment setting for individuals requiring intensive services.
Mutual Support Meetings: Participation in programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Aftercare: Continuing services or support following treatment.
Not everyone receives the same recommendations. Your required services are determined by your assessment findings and applicable Oklahoma guidelines.
These additional services have separate costs, which can vary depending on the service, program and provider.
That said, the cost of the ADSAC courses are set and enforced by the state. 10-hour ADSAC course is $150 and 24-hour ADSAC course is $360.
Can I Make Payments on an Oklahoma ADSAC Assessment?
Oklahoma requires the assessment fee to be paid in full for the assessment process to be considered complete.
At Step Three, Inc., payment is collected before your assessment appointment is scheduled.
You can complete your registration and payment online through our secure form. Once your information and payment have been received, we will contact you within one business day to schedule your appointment.
Why Does an ADSAC Assessment Cost $160?
Some people are surprised by the cost of an ADSAC assessment, particularly when the appointment itself takes approximately two hours.
However, an ADSAC assessment involves much more than a conversation about alcohol or drug use.
Oklahoma Certified ADSAC Assessors must meet professional qualifications and specialized training requirements established by ODMHSAS.
Assessors are also responsible for:
Maintaining professional credentials and certification.
Completing required training and continuing education.
Administering approved screening instruments.
Following Oklahoma assessment procedures.
Maintaining confidential client records.
Preparing official assessment documentation.
Completing required state reporting.
Following applicable confidentiality and professional standards.
The fee reflects the professional evaluation, documentation, and administrative responsibilities involved in completing an official Oklahoma ADSAC assessment.
Is the ADSAC Assessment Fee the Same Everywhere in Oklahoma?
Yes. Oklahoma establishes the assessment fee statewide.
Whether you live in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Lawton, Durant, Ardmore, McAlester, Broken Bow, Idabel, Enid, or another Oklahoma community, the state-established assessment fee is the same.
The ADSAC assessment fee remains $160 or $175 based on the date of the offense.
Choosing an assessor in a different Oklahoma city does not change the state-established fee.

What If Someone Charges More Than the State ADSAC Assessment Fee?
Oklahoma establishes the official ADSAC assessment fee, and state regulations prohibit additional charges, extra fees, or interest being attached to the assessment process.
If you are quoted more than the state-established fee, ask the provider to explain the charge before making payment.
You should also verify that the individual conducting your assessment is certified by ODMHSAS.
