DWI clients in rehab need specific requirements met to satisfy the terms of their court sentencing. Rehab facilities which help satisfy these requirements and terms, which are typically more lenient than traditional sentencing such as large fines and jail time, are available in Vail to provide alcohol education, counseling, and further assessment for individuals with heavy drug or alcohol issues.
Education is an essential treatment tool used at rehabs treating DWI clients. There are various levels of alcohol education and this can differ by state. Level I education typically include 12 hours of education about the effects and dangers of drugs and/or alcohol. This is the what a person with a single offense or someone under 21 will commonly be required to do. Level II classes would include both substance abuse education and group therapy at a program which is approved by the courts. The duration the individual will have to participate in therapy depends upon certain factors, which can include the number of DWI's the person 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 level was very low when they were stopped and there weren't any other significant infractions when the individual was arrested.
