If you or a loved one is facing a DUI in West Virginia, understanding the DUI levels and how your treatment plan is determined can make the process clearer and less stressful. Holistic Inc. in Charleston, WV, provides a structured DUI Safety & Treatment Program to help individuals meet DMV requirements, complete necessary counseling, and work toward license reinstatement.

For those searching for “DUI Level 1 WV,” “DUI Level 2 West Virginia,” or “DUI Level 3 requirements WV,” this guide explains how the levels are assigned, what each program includes, and how compliance ensures successful completion.

How DUI Levels Are Determined in West Virginia

The first step in your DUI treatment plan is an individual substance abuse assessment. This evaluation determines whether you will be placed in Level I, II, or III treatment based on factors such as:

  • BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) at the time of arrest

  • Whether it is a first or repeat offense

  • DUI involving drugs

  • Age at the time of the offense

  • Refusal of a breathalyzer

  • Other personal or DMV-specific risk factors


This assessment ensures your program is tailored to your needs, balancing education, counseling, and monitoring to support safe driving and responsible decision-making.

Level I DUI Program: Education and Awareness

Level I is designed for first-time or lower-risk DUI offenders. The program includes:

  • 18-hour DUI Safety & Treatment Program

  • Initial drug screen

  • Responsible Decisions Workbook


This level focuses on education and understanding the risks of alcohol or drug-impaired driving. Participants learn strategies for responsible decision-making and safe behavior behind the wheel.


Enrollment Fee: $485

Level II DUI Program: Counseling and Monitoring

Level II is for individuals requiring additional counseling or evaluation. In addition to Level I components, Level II participants complete:

  • Substance abuse evaluation

  • Six additional group counseling sessions required by the state

  • Second random urinalysis during the program

  • Post-test at the final group session


Level II provides deeper behavioral support and accountability, helping participants address underlying substance use patterns while maintaining DMV compliance.

Enrollment Fee: $985

Level III DUI Program: Intensive Individualized Treatment

Level III is for high-risk participants, including second offenses, high BAC, or drug-related DUIs. Along with all Level II requirements, Level III participants complete:

  • 12 hours of individual counseling

  • Ongoing monitoring and additional drug screens as needed


This level provides comprehensive support for those with significant risk factors, ensuring compliance with DMV requirements and promoting long-term behavioral change.

Enrollment Fee: $1,885

Compliance and License Reinstatement

Compliance is critical at all levels. Participants must:

  • Attend all sessions (group and/or individual)

  • Complete required drug screens (initial and random)

  • Pass the post-test at the end of the course

  • Submit the certificate of completion to the West Virginia DMV


Failing a breathalyzer or drug screen may result in advancement to a higher level, additional fees, and extended counseling requirements. Holistic Inc. also offers optional ongoing substance abuse treatment for participants seeking extra support.
