​The Georgia DUI process has two components:  The Assessment and the 20-hour Intervention Course.

The Assessment consists of a questionnaire, The NEEDS Assessment, which is designed to look at patterns of behavior in a number of critical areas, that will provide a concise, but comprehensive, profile of an individual’s functioning.  It normally takes 30 - 45 minutes to complete the 130 questions on this assessment.

The 20-hour Intervention Course is an interactive classroom based program where the Prime for Life® curriculum is delivered.  "Prime For Life® is an evidence-based alcohol and drug program designed to gently but powerfully challenge common beliefs and attitudes that directly contribute to high-risk alcohol and drug use."  You may not be late for any parts of this course.

The Cost of DUI School is $360.00: The Assessment $100.00 and 20-hour Intervention Course: $260.00 (Course $235.00 and Digital workbook $25.00).  Please know, you will receive your digital workbook via email.  You may pay for the assessment separate from the intervention course; however, Georgia law requires all fees to be paid in full before starting class.  Please note that this cost is nonnegotiable and set by DDS.  Additionally, all fees and assessments must be paid/completed by 5:00 pm on the day of the first session.  If this does not occur by 5:00 pm, you will be assigned to the next DUI class.

Scheduled classes will have 5 sessions,
​4 hours each:
Session 1 on Friday         from 6 PM – 10 PM
Session 2 on Saturday     from 9 AM – 1 PM
Session 3 on Saturday     from 2 PM – 6 PM
Session 4 on Sunday       from 9 AM – 1 PM
Session 5 on Sunday       from 2 PM – 6 PM    

Due to the Corona virus, DDS has allowed us to change how we complete the Risk Reduction process.  

You do not have to come into the office for anything!!

You may complete the NEED Assessment and the Risk Reduction course virtually from your computer (with internet access) or smartphone.  Please follow the process below and know that you must be present and active during every session. The instructor MUST always see your face!  Breaks will be given by the instructor. Failure to follow these rules will result in your dismissal from the course.  Additionally, technology issues that cause you to miss more than 5 minutes of the course will result in you being dismissed.  Refunds will not be granted.
