Program Details
The consecutive two-day early intervention educational program includes six hours each day of drug and alcohol education as well as a brief “at-risk” screening. Should an individual then be referred for a full substance use disorder assessment and further treatment is recommended, the IDRC will monitor your status throughout the course of treatment.
All recommendations must be followed to completion or the individual will be placed in non-compliance which can potentially lead to further suspension or revocation of their licenses and possible incarceration.
