Driver Intervention Program: Court-Referred Driver Education
SAPI is state-certified by the Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services and the Ohio Department of Public Safety to serve all courts in Ohio.
The 72-Hour Driver Intervention Program (DIP) is a residential program for OVI offenders administered through Substance Abuse Prevention Institute (SAPI). The program educates individuals about the physical, psychological and social effects of alcohol and drug use and is designed to reduce the risk of future alcohol and drug abuse arrests. The program is certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS).
We offer a 72 Hour, 48 Hour, and 13 Hour program during each scheduled weekend program.
Program Details
The 72 Hour Driver Intervention program gives individuals an opportunity to examine thinking and behavioral patterns that led to their OVI arrest. It provides participants with the knowledge they need to make healthy future choices and with information on alcohol and drug abuse through lectures, videos, class work and group discussions.
The Driver Intervention Program costs vary (with occasional sales), which includes lodging and meals. Cash, and Visa or Mastercard are accepted. Payment must be received one week prior to attending the 72 Hour Driver Intervention Program. All bedding and towels will be provided, but participants must bring their own personal grooming products. You can request your own room for an additional fee. Individuals who need to reschedule their driver intervention program must first contact the court. Once written confirmation is received, the 72 Hour Driver Intervention Program can be rescheduled.
