Substance Abuse Counseling or Treatment
Any arrest for DWI will result in almost an automatic referral to Community Evaluation Services (CES) to determine whether or not you have a substance abuse problem. At the low end, this requires you to go get an assessment and then follow up with any treatment that is recommended. This can be anywhere from 8 hours of drug and alcohol education to 24 hours of intensive education and perhaps inpatient treatment depending on the severity of the substance abuse problem. It can be as time and labor intensive as they want to make it, depending on how they diagnose your problem. They can also require you to attend AA meetings from once a week to as often as every day.
