DWI clients in treatment need specific requirements met to fulfill the conditions of their sentencing. Treatment programs which help satisfy these requirements and conditions, which are usually more lenient than regular sentencing such as heavy fines and jail time, are offered in Powers to provide alcohol education, counseling, and further assessment for severe drug or alcohol problems.
Drug and Alcohol Education is a primary treatment tool used at rehab programs catering to DWI clients. There are different levels of alcohol education classes which can differ by state. Level I education normally consist of 12 hours of education related to the effects and dangers of alcohol and drugs. This is the what someone with a first offense or someone under 21 will commonly be required to complete. Level II classes would include both substance abuse education and group therapy in a program which is approved by the courts. The duration the person will have to remain in therapy depends upon a few factors, which can be, for example, the number of DWI's the individual has had, and the severity of the violation. Ordinarily, clients will be required to take the Level II classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol level was very low when they were arrested and there weren't any other significant charges when the offender was arrested.
