If you have been convicted of a DWI/DUI in NC...

the state requires you to have a DWI/DUI Assessment and complete treatment.

The assessment MUST be performed by a Licensed Addiction Counselor at a North Carolina State Certified DWI Facility. To be eligible to receive a Limited Driving Privilege, you must get the DUI Assessment.

About The DWI/DUI Assessment

A North Carolina DWI Assessment must be completed if convicted. The assessment will look at 3 areas: Total number of DWI's, Blood Alcohol Content and if there is an Alcohol Use Disorder. Anna Coker, a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, will ask a series of questions about your DWI to identify if there is more going on with regard to alcohol, or if you simply made a mistake.

Northeastern Professional Counseling, PC is located in Elizabeth City, NC (27909) centrally located between the YMCA and FORD dealership. We serve Northeast North Carolina, including, but not limited to Elizabeth City, Edenton, Hertford, Gates, Camden and Currituck, North Carolina.

The cost is $125 for the assessment. This includes getting a copy of your driving record. You can bring cash or credit card. No checks accepted. 

  1. A copy of Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)*
  2. A copy of the citation (the ticket)*
  3. A Driver's license or Identification card (if you have it)

*You can get a copy of your BAC & Citation at the Clerk of Court in the county you were arrested or from your attorney. 

The assessment takes 30-45 minutes to complete, depending on if you have all required documentation.
