The SATOP assessment screening costs $271 ($126 assessment screening fee and $145 supplemental fee). If you receive a recommendation for the Offender Education Program, the cost will be $100. If you receive a recommendation for the Weekend Intervention Program, the cost will be $440.52. If you receive a recommendation for the Clinical Intervention Program, the cost will be $1005.91. If you receive a recommendation for the Youth Clinical Intervention Program, the cost will be $490.20. The Department of Mental Health's Standard Means Test can be applied to determine a sliding fee scale for individuals participating in the Weekend Intervention Program, Clinical Intervention Program, or Youth Clinical Intervention Program.

The supplemental fee is assessed to everyone ( Missouri statute) entering a SATOP. The supplemental fee is deposited into the Mental Health Earnings Fund and is used to assist individuals who may be unable to fully pay for the cost of the Weekend Intervention Program, Clinical Intervention Program, or Youth Clinical Intervention Program.

There may be some instances where an agency is no longer in business or has changed locations. You are encouraged to search your local telephone book and contact a certified SATOP agency to determine if they may have record of your completion. The Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse has been maintaining a database since 1995 and should have records of completions done after that time. It is your responsibility to keep copies of all receipts and completion paperwork you receive from an agency and keep them in a safe place.

You may obtain a second opinion by completing another assessment screening at a different Offender Management Unit at a cost of $126 (the $145.00 supplemental fee does not have to be paid for a second opinion, provided that documentation of the first assessment screening is provided). Once you receive the second opinion, that recommendation then becomes the one you must complete. The other option is to obtain a judicial review. You may file a motion in the associate division of the circuit court for a judge to review the recommendation of the Offender Management Unit. The judge will make a decision as to whether the recommendation is justified. Appropriate forms are available from the Office of State Courts Administrator ( 573-751-4377).
