Assessment Now provides professional Intervention in Lieu of Conviction assessment services for individuals in Ohio. These assessments are completed remotely by phone or secure video when appropriate.

An ILC assessment is a more detailed evaluation often requested by an attorney or court when mental health, alcohol use, drug use, or behavioral health concerns may be relevant to a criminal case.

When an ILC Assessment May Be Required

Intervention in Lieu of Conviction, often called ILC, is an Ohio-specific court process that may allow an eligible person to address underlying mental health or substance use concerns instead of immediately moving forward with a conviction.

ILC assessments are commonly requested in situations involving:

• Felony-level charges or serious legal matters

• Attorney-recommended evaluations

• Court-ordered evaluations

• Alcohol or drug-related concerns

• Mental health or behavioral health concerns

• Cases where treatment or intervention may be relevant to the legal situation

What to Expect

Our process is more detailed than a standard assessment and is designed to provide the court or attorney with a clear clinical picture:

• Schedule your appointment

• Complete a detailed questionnaire prior to your evaluation

• Complete your interview/consultation remotely

• Your evaluator reviews the relevant ILC criteria

• Receive your completed report via encrypted email

Following your evaluation, you will typically receive a longer formal report, often around 5 pages, summarizing clinical findings, eligibility considerations, and recommendations when appropriate.

Understanding the Assessment

An ILC assessment helps evaluate whether alcohol use, drug use, mental health concerns, or related behavioral health factors may have contributed to the legal situation.

The evaluator considers the relevant Ohio ILC criteria and provides a professional clinical opinion that may help the attorney or court better understand whether intervention-focused recommendations are appropriate.

Important Eligibility Note

Not every person will qualify for ILC. In some cases, the evaluation may indicate that the required criteria are not met.

If it becomes clear that a full clinical write-up is not appropriate because the individual does not appear to qualify, Assessment Now may offer a partial refund rather than charging for a lengthy report that is unlikely to support ILC eligibility.

​

Confidentiality & Report Sharing

Your assessment is private and confidential. Courts, attorneys, agencies, or other third parties will only receive your report if you choose to provide it to them or formally authorize Assessment Now to send it on your behalf.
