MPU costs

What is the average cost of an MPU?

The average cost of a pure MPU assessment is between around 400 and 950 euros. The prices vary so greatly because, on the one hand, it depends on the specific reason for the MPU and, on the other hand, the prices are not standardised. It is therefore advisable to compare the individual assessment centres. These average values serve as a guide. The actual costs may turn out to be slightly higher or lower.

However, the total costs of an MPU are usually significantly higher. In the case of alcohol or drug offences, proof of abstinence is often also required, which contributes to the overall costs with laboratory tests such as hair or urine analyses. Other individual factors, such as the duration of the necessary abstinence and, of course, the type and scope of preparation, can also have a significant impact on the costs.

Why is the mpu so expensive?

Individuality of the processEach case is unique and the MPU must be tailored to the specific circumstances and needs of the individual. This requires individual assessments and consultations, which are time-consuming and labour-intensive.
Elaborate individual partsThe MPU consists of several components, including medical examinations, psychological tests and interviews, as well as proof of abstinence. Each of these parts requires specialised expertise and resources, which increases the costs.
Preparation costsIn order to increase the chances of a positive result, many people seek professional help through preparation courses or counselling. These services are in addition to the fees for the MPU itself and can be considerable depending on the intensity and scope. In order to keep the costs as low as possible, we have created the online preparation course.
Proof of abstinenceProof of abstinence is required, especially in the case of alcohol or drug offences, which must be provided through regular tests over a longer period of time. The costs for these tests, especially for hair analyses, can be high.
