DWI Intervention Program

Break the Cycle. Protect Your Future. Get Sober.

A long-term outpatient program that combines real recovery with the documentation your defense needs.

Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short

Punishment alone

A sentence doesn't treat alcohol use disorder, so the risk of another arrest stays.

Treatment comes late

Many people don't get meaningful care until after sentencing, if ever.

Stretched systems

Heavy caseloads leave little room for individualized support.

A Better Way Forward

Treatment begins right away, before your case is resolved. The program is modeled on the long-term monitoring approach used for airline pilots and physicians, and it typically runs three to five years depending on your case and your needs.

1. Evidence-based treatment

Counseling, psychiatric and medical care aimed at the root causes of addiction.

2. Defense support

Progress reports and, when appropriate, testimony your attorney can present to the court.

3. Whole-person care

Mental health support, family involvement and relapse prevention for the long run.

What the Program Looks Like

Everyone starts with a full medical, psychiatric and substance use assessment. From there, care steps down as you build stability. This is a typical path; your plan is built around you.

Year one: building the foundation

Partial Hospitalization (PHP) · 6 weeks
Monday through Friday, 5:00–9:00 p.m.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP) · 16 weeks
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00–9:00 p.m.
Supportive Outpatient (SOP) · ongoing
Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00–8:00 p.m. With staff approval this can step down to once a week.

All times are San Antonio (Central) time. Evening hours let most people keep working while they're in treatment.

Along the way: randomized drug and alcohol testing twice a week by LC-MS, physician visits, individual and family counseling, 24/7 remote monitoring, and weekly compliance reports to probation.

Year two: strengthening recovery

Continued group and individual work focused on emotional regulation, mental health and life skills, with medical care as needed.

Year three and beyond: lasting change

Ongoing groups, testing as required, relapse prevention, and the chance to mentor people who are just starting out.
