Defendants who have been ordered to complete an alcohol evaluation, treatment, or classes bear the responsibility to schedule and complete those programs in a timely manner.  If assistance is required in scheduling alcohol evaluations, treatment, or court ordered counseling, contact the Court Services office in the county of conviction.

 

Additionally, it is the Defendant’s responsibility to request that their alcohol care provider or counselor send written documentation of successful completion to the Court Services office in the county where convicted.  IF ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOT MADE TO HAVE THIS DONE, THE DEFENDANT WILL BE ARRESTED BECAUSE THE COURT WILL NOT KNOW THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN COMPLETED.  The Defendant also must call the Court Services office to confirm that written documentation was received verifying the successful completion of an approved alcohol program. 

 

Defendants will need approximately ninety (90) days to complete an alcohol evaluation, attend the DWI classes, and to process the paperwork confirming completion of the alcohol program.  They should schedule their evaluation and classes immediately following sentencing.  They will not receive an extension of time to complete the program.
