DWI clients in rehab need to complete specific requirements to fulfill the terms of their sentencing. Rehab programs which help fulfill these requirements and terms, which are typically more lenient than traditional sentencing such as heavy fines and incarceration, are offered in Yawkey to provide DWI classes, therapy, and further evaluation for individuals with heavy substance abuse problems.
Drug and Alcohol Education is a primary tool used at rehabs catering to DWI clients. There are various levels of alcohol education and this can differ by state. Level I education classes usually consist of 12 hours of group education related to the effects of drugs and/or alcohol. This is the what a person with a first offense or someone under 21 will commonly be required to do. Level II classes would include both substance abuse education and group therapy in a program which is approved by the courts. How long a client will be required to participate in therapy depends on various considerations, which can include the number of DWI's the person has had, and the seriousness of the violation. Most often clients will be sentenced to the Level II DWI classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol content level was extremely low when they were stopped and there weren't any other significant charges when the person was arrested.
