DWI Clients - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ridgeway, IA.

DWI clients in rehab need specific requirements met to fulfill the terms of their court sentencing. Rehab programs which help fulfill these court requirements and conditions, which are usually far more lenient than regular sentencing which would include heavy fines and jail time, are offered in Ridgeway to provide educational services, counseling, and further evaluation for serious substance abuse problems.

Education is an essential treatment tool used at rehab programs treating DWI offenders. There are different levels of alcohol education and this can vary by state. Level I education classes usually consist of 12 hours of group education about the effects and dangers of alcohol and drugs. This is the what a person with a single conviction or someone under 21 will usually be required to complete. Level II classes would include both substance abuse education and group therapy at a court approved program. How long a person will have to remain in therapy depends upon a few factors, which can include the number of DWI's the offender has had, and the seriousness of the offense. Most often clients will be sentenced to the Level II DWI classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol level was very low when they were stopped and there were no other serious charges when the offender was arrested.
