DWI clients in treatment need specific requirements met to satisfy the terms of their sentencing. Treatment facilities that help satisfy these requirements and terms, which are typically far more lenient than traditional sentencing which would include steep fines and jail time, are available in Washington to deliver DWI classes, therapy, and further evaluation for severe alcohol or drug issues.
Drug and Alcohol Education is a primary treatment tool used at rehab programs catering to DWI clients. There are a few different levels of alcohol education classes and this can vary by state. Level I education classes usually consist of 12 hours of group education about the effects of drugs and/or alcohol. This is the what someone with a first conviction or someone under 21 will often be required to complete. Level II classes would consist of both education and group therapy at a program which is approved by the courts. How long a person will be required to participate in therapy depends on various factors, which can include how many DWI's the offender has had, and the severity of the offense. In most cases, clients will be required to take the Level II classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol content was very low when they were stopped and there weren't any other significant infractions when the offender was arrested.
