Step 1: Registering for the Program
The first step in the DUI Safety & Treatment Program is registration. Participants can register by phone at 681-265-1693 or in person at one of our convenient locations:
Kanawha City Office (Charleston) – Located beside United Bank
St. Albans Office – Serving participants throughout the St. Albans area and surrounding communities
What to bring:
Driver’s License or ID
Insurance card
During registration, you will also pay your program fee, which varies depending on your required level of treatment (Level I–III). This fee covers your coursework, initial drug screen, and the program workbook.
Step 2: Substance Abuse Assessment
Once registered, participants schedule an individual substance abuse assessment. This evaluation determines the appropriate level of treatment—Level I, II, or III—based on factors such as:
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of arrest
Number of prior offenses
Age and circumstances of the DUI
Drug-related arrests
This assessment ensures each participant receives a program tailored to their needs.
Step 3: Initial Drug Screen
Before starting the coursework, all participants complete an initial drug screen. Passing this is required to move forward in the program.
Additional or random drug screens may be required throughout the course to ensure compliance and accountability.
Step 4: Coursework and Group Sessions
The heart of the program is the 18-hour DUI Safety & Treatment coursework, offered in two formats:
Accelerated Track: 6-hour group session once a week for three consecutive weeks
Standard Track: 3-hour group session once a week for six consecutive weeks
The program uses the Responsible Decisions Workbook, which provides practical guidance on making safer choices and understanding the consequences of impaired driving.
During coursework, participants may also complete a post-test and a second random urinalysis to monitor progress.
Step 5: Levels of Treatment
The program has three levels, depending on the participant’s needs:
Level I – $485
18-hour DUI Safety & Treatment Program
Initial drug screen
Responsible Decisions Workbook
Level II – $985
Level I inclusions
Substance Abuse Evaluation
6 additional group counseling sessions required by the state
Level III – $1,885
Level II inclusions
12 additional individual counseling hours required by the state
Participants may also choose additional therapy sessions at discounted rates, depending on their recovery plan or as required due to failed drug screens.
Step 6: Completing the Program
After finishing coursework and required counseling, participants schedule a final assessment. Upon successful completion:
A certificate of completion is issued
Your packet is mailed to the WV DMV
You may receive additional guidance on continuing recovery if needed
It’s important to note: failing a drug screen or breathalyzer may result in advancement to a higher treatment level and additional fees.
