Completion of 10 hours of Risk Education is required if you’re classified Minimal, Moderate or Significant Risk.
These psychoeducational groups focus on the impact of alcohol and drug use on behavior.

If you’re Moderate Risk (along with 10 hours of Risk Education) you’re required to complete 12 hours of Early Intervention. Early Intervention is a group counseling class that helps you develop personal plans that prepare you to engage in healthy decision-making when it comes to driving and alcohol/drug use.

Both Significant and High Risk designations require Substance Use Counseling. We recommended group counseling in order to help you complete these counseling requirements in an efficient, yet effective manner.

When you make an appointment with Counseling Speaks to obtain your treatment documents, you can rest-assured that our staff are up-to-date with the Secretary of State’s requirements for paperwork to meet Secretary of State formal and informal hearing requirements.
