If you have been convicted of a DWI (Driving While Impaired), you must undergo a substance use assessment in order to get your driver’s license re-instated. You must also complete either an education program or treatment program, whichever is recommended as a result of the assessment. If you fail to submit to a breath test, or if you registered over 0.14%, you will be required to complete a treatment program. Assessments follow the American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria to determine your needs. If you are not given a substance use disorder diagnosis, you will be referred to an education program.
All assessments must be conducted by an authorized DWI provider. Your assessment will be completed by a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, who is licensed by the North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board.
In order to be assessed, please provide:
- Your ticket
- A copy of your driving record
- A copy of your Breathalyzer results
- Your attorney’s name and phone number
