Background:
Building Bridges, LLP and Accurate Testing, Inc. provide chemical health workshops for clients with misdemeanor DWI offenses, ordered by the Fourth Judicial District Court to attend classes. Historically, people convicted of DWI or a modified crime related to impaired driving were ordered to complete the DWI One Day Program (DWIP). DWI education sessions have been managed by the Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) through contracted providers since 2007.
In February 2025, the court replaced DWIP with Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), an early intervention approach designed to identify people experiencing-or at risk of developing-substance use disorders. The SBIRT screening quickly assesses the severity of an individual’s substance use and identifies the appropriate level of treatment, if needed. This model combines early intervention for clients who need treatment services with individualized education about the risks and consequences of impaired driving.
Based on the SBIRT result and each client’s willingness to participate and follow recommendations, clients may be referred to one or more education components offered by the contracted providers: Driving with Care curricula, chemical health education workshops or a victim impact panel. The fees for these client services are paid by DOCCR.
