Ministry of Transportation Assessments

Information for Clients

Our program has the capability to assess people who are mandated by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to be assessed for alcohol or drug problems as a condition of keeping or returning a motor vehicle license.

Unfortunately this assessment and any related correspondence is not a covered
service of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).
You will be required to pay for these services according to the fee schedule listed in this brochure.
If you are diagnosed with an addictive disorder, then any further treatment at our program is covered by OHIP.
