DWI clients in treatment need specific requirements met to satisfy the terms of their sentencing. Treatment programs that help satisfy these court requirements and terms, which are typically more lenient than normal sentencing which would include steep fines and incarceration, are offered in Birchwood to deliver alcohol education, therapy, and additional assessment for serious alcohol or drug problems.
Drug and Alcohol Education is an essential treatment tool used at rehab programs catering to DWI clients. There are various levels of alcohol education and this can differ by state. Level I education generally consist of 12 hours of education about the effects of drugs and/or alcohol. This is the what a person with a single conviction or someone under 21 will often be required to complete. Level II classes would include both substance abuse education and therapy at a court approved program. How long a person will need to participate in therapy depends on various considerations, which can be, for example, how many DWI's the offender has had, and the severity of the offense. Most often clients will be required to take the Level II DWI classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol level was very low when they were stopped and there were no other significant charges when the offender was arrested.
