Choosing the Right Drug and Alcohol Assessment Center

August 8, 2025

Finding the right drug and alcohol assessment provider is one of the most critical steps in moving forward after a legal or personal challenge. At Alcohol, Drug & Assessment Center (ADAC) and A Better Choice Counseling (ABC) in Bethany, OK, we understand that every person’s situation is unique. 


Our state-licensed professionals are here to provide compassionate, judgment-free care that meets court requirements while supporting your long-term well-being. Whether you're looking for a court-mandated evaluation or voluntarily seeking support, we’re committed to helping you take the next step with confidence.


Why Drug and Alcohol Assessments Matter


A drug and alcohol assessment serves as more than just a legal requirement, it is a tool to help identify the level of care and support a person may need to address substance use. In many cases, the outcome of the assessment can determine eligibility for license reinstatement, influence legal outcomes, and lay the groundwork for effective treatment plans.


At the Alcohol, Drug & Assessment Center (ADAC), we use state-approved criteria and conduct all drug and alcohol assessments through licensed counselors. Our assessments follow the ADSAC (Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Course) guidelines required by Oklahoma law, which ensures accuracy, fairness, and compliance for every client.


The importance of a thorough drug and alcohol assessment cannot be overstated. It is designed to evaluate the severity of substance use, the presence of any co-occurring mental health conditions, and the appropriate level of intervention needed. This individualized evaluation helps courts and clients alike determine the most effective path toward recovery and legal compliance.


Every drug and alcohol assessment we conduct is tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. This personalized approach allows us to recommend the best course of action, whether that includes attending a drug substance abuse course, alcohol abuse classes, or further counseling.

What truly makes ADAC and ABC Counseling different from other providers is our people. Our team is composed entirely of state-licensed professionals, each with years of experience in substance use assessment and counseling. 

Since 2002, we’ve served the Bethany and Oklahoma City communities with empathy and professionalism. Our counselors don't just check boxes, they listen, support, and build a path forward.

The Role of Drug Substance Abuse Courses and Alcohol Abuse Classes


Completing a drug substance abuse course or alcohol abuse classes is often a key requirement after an assessment identifies the need for intervention. These courses serve to educate individuals on the risks and consequences of substance use, as well as practical strategies to maintain sobriety and prevent relapse.


At the Alcohol, Drug & Assessment Center, our courses are not generic lectures. They are thoughtfully designed with interactive content, group discussions, and practical exercises. This approach ensures participants are engaged and able to apply what they learn in their daily lives.


Our alcohol abuse classes often address underlying issues such as stress, mental health, and social influences that contribute to misuse. Likewise, our drug substance abuse courses provide tailored information to address different types of substances and behaviors.


Both types of courses aim to empower participants with knowledge, self-awareness, and coping skills that support long-term recovery and responsible choices.


Our Commitment to the Bethany Community


As part of the Bethany and Oklahoma City community, we are deeply connected to the individuals and families we serve. At ADAC and ABC Counseling, we don't just offer services—we offer support, guidance, and understanding. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow and recover in a safe, professional environment.


Every drug and alcohol assessment, every drug substance abuse course, and every session of our alcohol abuse classes is carried out with the individual in mind. We’re not here to judge; we’re here to help.
