TO DUI INTERVENTION PROGRAM WEBSITE

This is the official website of the Georgia DUI Intervention Program. This website is designed to provide guidance for Clinical Evaluators and Substance Abuse Treatment Providers who seek approval to provide services to DUI offenders under O.C.G.A. 40-5-63.1 or O.C.G.A. 40-6-391, and to those already approved to provide services to DUI offenders by the Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities.

Any person convicted of a DUI  in Georgia, or a licensed Georgia driver who gets a DUI in another State must successfully complete a Department of Drivers Services (DDS) approved DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program and undergo a Clinical Evaluation and, if recommended, complete a Substance Abuse Treatment Program.

The Clinical Evaluation is an assessment conducted by a DBHDD approved licensed or certified professional who is certified in the field of addiction. You must select a Clinical Evaluator from the DBHDD approved list. Search Registry Listing

Based on their professional findings, the Clinical Evaluator may recommend treatment. Treatment means attendance and participation in the type of program recommended by the Evaluator. Be sure you attend a DBHDD approved DUI Intervention Program (DUIIP).
