Treatment reports for alcohol/drug dependency
Can I contest or appeal the suspension?
To prevent the suspension from taking effect, you may appeal the suspension within 15 days from the date on your notification letter. The letter we sent to you includes a form for appealing the suspension.
You also may request an interview or hearing any time after the 15-day period, but your license will remain suspended pending the outcome of the interview or hearing.
What will be considered during my appeal?
- Whether a qualified chemical dependency counselor diagnosed you as alcohol or drug dependent.
- Whether you satisfactorily completed the first 60 days of the recommended treatment program.
For more information, see Hearings.
How can I get my license back?
- Have your treatment provider send us your assessment treatment report at:
- Fax: 360-570-7044
- Mail:
Department of Licensing
PO Box 9030
Olympia, WA 98507-9030
- We’ll release the suspension when your treatment provider notifies us you’re in compliance with your treatment program.
