DWI clients in treatment need specific requirements met to fulfill the conditions of their court sentencing. Treatment programs that help satisfy these court requirements and conditions, which are usually more lenient than regular sentencing which would include large fines and jail time, are available in St. Thomas to provide educational services, group counseling, and further evaluation for severe alcohol or drug problems.
Drug and Alcohol Education is a fundamental tool used at rehabs treating DWI offenders. There are a few different levels of alcohol education classes which can differ by state. Level I education classes usually consist of 12 hours of education about the effects and dangers of alcohol and drugs. This is the what someone with a single conviction or someone under the age of 21 will ordinarily be required to do. Level II DWI classes would consist of both education and group therapy in a program which is approved by the courts. How long a client will need to remain in therapy depends upon various considerations, which can be, for example, how many DWI's the offender has had, and the seriousness of the offense. In most cases, clients 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 were no other serious infractions when the individual was arrested.
