DWI Clients - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Shelter Island Heights, NY.

DWI clients in treatment need specific requirements met to satisfy the terms of their court sentencing. Rehab programs which help satisfy these demands and conditions, which are usually much more lenient than regular sentencing which would include steep fines and jail time, are available in Shelter Island Heights to provide DWI classes, counseling, and additional evaluation for serious substance abuse issues.

Education is an essential tool used at rehabs treating DWI clients. There are different levels of alcohol education classes which can differ by state. Level I education usually consist of 12 hours of education about the effects and dangers of drugs and/or alcohol. This is the what someone with a first offense or someone under the age of 21 will often be required to do. Level II courses would consist of both substance abuse education and group therapy in a program which is approved by the courts. How long an individual will have to be in therapy depends upon a few considerations, which can be, for example, how many DWI's the offender has had, and the seriousness of the violation. In most cases, clients will be sentenced to the Level II classes and therapy except for when their blood-alcohol level was very low when they were stopped and there were no other serious charges when the individual was arrested.
