DWI clients in treatment need specific requirements met to fulfill the conditions of their sentencing. Treatment programs that help satisfy these demands and terms, which are typically much more lenient than regular sentencing such as steep fines and incarceration, are offered in Boyd to deliver alcohol education, therapy, and additional evaluation for individuals with heavy alcohol or drug problems.
Drug and Alcohol Education is an essential treatment tool used at rehabs catering to DWI clients. There are various levels of alcohol education and this can vary by state. Level I education generally consist of 12 hours of education about the effects of drugs and/or alcohol. This is the what a person with a first conviction or someone under 21 will ordinarily be required to do. Level II classes would include both education and group therapy in a program which is approved by the courts. The duration the person will need to be in therapy depends upon various factors, which can be, for example, the number of DWI's the offender has had, and the seriousness of the violation. Most often individuals will be required to take the Level II classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol content was very low when they were arrested and there were no other significant charges when the individual was arrested.
