DWI Clients - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Athol, MA.

DWI clients in treatment need to complete specific requirements to satisfy the conditions of their sentencing. Rehab programs which help satisfy these court requirements and terms, which are typically far more lenient than traditional sentencing which would include heavy fines and incarceration, are offered in Athol to provide alcohol education, therapy, and additional assessment for serious substance abuse issues.

Education is an essential tool used at rehabs catering to DWI clients. There are different levels of alcohol education which can vary by state. Level I education classes usually consist of 12 hours of group education about the effects of alcohol and drugs. This is the what a person with a first conviction or someone under 21 will commonly be required to complete. Level II courses would consist of both substance abuse education and group therapy at a program which is approved by the courts. How long a client will need to be in therapy depends on a few factors, which can be, for example, the number of DWI's the individual has had, and the severity of the violation. Ordinarily, clients will be required to take the Level II DWI classes and therapy except for when their blood-alcohol content was very low when they were arrested and there weren't any other serious infractions when the offender was arrested.
