RMV Risk of Recidivism & Substance Use Evaluations

If the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) has required you to complete a Risk of Recidivism or Substance Use Evaluation, you may be feeling overwhelmed or unsure about what to expect. Lauren Cavanaugh, LICSW, provides professional, confidential evaluations in a supportive, judgment-free environment to help you meet RMV requirements and move forward with confidence.

An RMV Risk of Recidivism and Substance Use Evaluation is a comprehensive clinical assessment used to determine the likelihood of future substance-related driving incidents. These evaluations are commonly required following OUI/DUI offenses, license suspensions, Immediate Threat determinations, or other RMV actions involving alcohol or drug use. The assessment includes a clinical interview, a review of relevant history, and evidence-based evaluation methods to provide an objective written report for the RMV or your legal representative.

Lauren understands that every person’s situation is unique. Her approach is compassionate, respectful, and focused on providing an accurate clinical assessment while helping clients understand the evaluation process from start to finish. Appointments are conducted in a confidential setting, with clear communication about what documentation may be needed and what to expect during your evaluation.

What to Expect

Your evaluation may include:

• A comprehensive review of your alcohol and substance use history
• Discussion of the incident or referral that led to the evaluation
• Assessment of mental health, medical history, and protective factors
• Evidence-based clinical screening tools
• A professionally prepared written report that meets RMV requirements
