About Us

Our Approach

At Recovery Awareness LLC, we do one thing and we do it well. We evaluate. We document. We tell the truth.

When someone is referred for a DOT SAP evaluation, a Fitness for Duty assessment, a court ordered evaluation, or a mental health or substance use assessment, the stakes are real. Careers are on the line. Licenses are at risk. Legal outcomes matter. This is not the time for opinion, guesswork, or inflated language. It is the time for clarity, compliance, and professional judgment.

Our role is not to advocate. It is not to minimize. It is not to exaggerate. Our role is to assess the facts, apply clinical standards, and provide documentation that stands on its own. We stay in our lane. We follow federal and state guidelines. We produce evaluations that hold up under regulatory and legal review.

Confidentiality is not a marketing point here. It is the expectation. Professional standards are not flexible. They are the baseline. Every report is prepared with the understanding that it may be reviewed by employers, licensing boards, attorneys, courts, or federal agencies.

That is the work.

Our Commitments

Integrity and objectivity guide every assessment. Evaluations are based on documented information, clinical interview, collateral data when appropriate, and established criteria. They are impartial and defensible.

Accuracy and clarity matter. Reports are thorough, organized, and written in plain language so that decision makers understand exactly what is being stated and why.

Confidentiality and respect are foundational. Individuals are treated with dignity, regardless of the referral source or circumstance. The process is professional, direct, and free from judgment.

Compliance is not optional. We remain current with DOT regulations, state licensure standards, and applicable federal and state requirements in Florida, New Hampshire, and Georgia within the scope of services provided.

When expert testimony is required, it is grounded in clinical experience and licensing standards. The testimony reflects the record and the facts. Nothing more. Nothing less.
