DWI clients in treatment need specific requirements met to fulfill the conditions of their sentencing. Treatment programs which help fulfill these court requirements and terms, which are usually far more lenient than normal sentencing which would include large fines and jail time, are offered in Austin to provide alcohol education, therapy, and further assessment for individuals with heavy drug or alcohol problems.
Education is a fundamental tool used at rehab programs treating DWI clients. There are different levels of alcohol education classes and this can differ by state. Level I education generally include 12 hours of education related to the effects of alcohol and drugs. This is the what a person with a single conviction or someone under the age of 21 will usually be required to do. Level II DWI classes would consist of both substance abuse education and group therapy at a program which is approved by the courts. How long a client will have to be in therapy depends on certain factors, which can be, for example, how many DWI's the offender has had, and the seriousness of the offense. Most often clients will be sentenced to the Level II DWI classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol level was extremely low when they were arrested and there were no other serious infractions when the individual was arrested.
