DWI Clients - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lynden, WA.

DWI clients in treatment need to complete specific requirements to satisfy the terms of their court sentencing. Rehab programs that help fulfill these court requirements and conditions, which are typically far more lenient than traditional sentencing such as steep fines and incarceration, are available in Lynden to provide educational services, counseling, and additional assessment for severe alcohol or drug problems.

Education is a primary treatment tool used at rehabs catering to DWI offenders. There are different levels of alcohol education classes and this can vary by state. Level I education classes generally consist of 12 hours of education about the effects and dangers of drugs and/or alcohol. This is the what someone with a first conviction or someone under the age of 21 will often be required to do. Level II courses would include both education and group therapy at a court approved program. The duration the individual will have to be in therapy depends upon a few considerations, which can be, for example, the number of DWI's the individual has had, and the severity of the offense. In most cases, individuals 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 weren't any other significant infractions when the person was arrested.
