Driver Alcohol Education Program(DAEP)

The Psychological Center's Driver Alcohol Education Program is a comprehensive treatment program for those clients who have been adjudicated for first offense DUI (driving under the influence). The goal of the program is to provide an educational experience related to substance abuse and its effect on driving and other life problems. Our hope is to raise the client's awareness and to influence behavioral changes, thereby lowering the risk for any future DUI and/or other substance abuse related problems.

  • One individual intake session
  • 32 hours of psycho-educational group sessions (one -two hour session each week for 16 weeks)
