DUI services, the number of hours depends on what “level” you are assessed at based on your history and drug/alcohol use. The minimum hours for each level are:

Minimal Risk – AODA (Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Education) is 10 hours over a period of 1-2 weeks.

Moderate Risk is a total of 22 hours (1 hour intake, 10 hours AODA, 11 hours group counseling).

Significant Risk is a total of 30 hours (1 hour intake, 10 hours AODA, 19 hours of group counseling).

High Risk is a total of 75 hours (1 hour intake, 74 hours of group counseling).

These hours may vary based on your counselor’s recommendation.

Appointments can typically be made within 48 hours.

Yes, you can come for an evaluation if your county allows it. Several counties have agreements with other agencies for DUI evaluations. Treatment based on a DUI evaluation can be done no matter where the evaluation was completed. Please bring your evaluation paperwork with you if your evaluation was completed elsewhere.

Please ensure you bring several important documents to your evaluation. To complete the evaluation, you MUST have a copy of your driver’s abstract. If you do not have it at your appointment, you can still be seen, but your completed evaluation will be withheld until you provide the abstract to your counselor. You can obtain a driver’s abstract from any Secretary of State facility.

Additionally, please bring the following items:

- Your Notice of Summary Suspension (a white piece of paper issued at the time of your arrest)

- All tickets issued at the time of the arrest

- Your attorney’s contact information

- Your appointment fee (as discussed when scheduling the appointment)

Thank you for your cooperation.

We abide by very strict rules regarding confidentiality from HIPAA and 42CFR Part 2. All client records and treatments are confidential. Clients must sign a release in order for staff to disclose any information.

If you have been mandated by the court to complete a DUI program or substance misuse treatment, it is essential to fulfill these requirements. Failure to do so can be considered a probation violation, leading to more severe consequences. The court will then reassess your case, and you might face additional penalties, including potential jail time.
