North Carolina law requires a face to face assessment to determine the level of services you may require. A standardized assessment approved by the State is administered to all DWI clients in accordance with North Carolina state law as part of the assessment process. 

PROMISES12 provides assessments for all North Carolina residents and we specialize in processing out of State reviews Monday through Thursdays. Appointments available for other times. 

The results of the assessment may place one in either of the following:

ADETS
4 Session Class

A 16 hour education and prevention course designed for first time offenders with a Blood Alcohol Level of .14 or less who did not refuse the breathalyzer test and did not have an identified substance use disorder. North Carolina law mandates the Prime for Life curriculum as this intervention. Only a clinical assessment can determine if one is placed at this level. North Carolina law sets the cost of ADETS at $185.00 for this four day program. Fees must be paid in full two weeks prior to the beginning of ADETS. Once started, must be completed in four consecutive sessions.

Short Term Treatment
20-39 Hours

Based on the results of your substance use assessment, you may be required to complete a Short-term Substance Use Treatment Program. You would be placed in this program in accordance with guidelines issued by NCDWI Services, which regulates DWI assessments and treatment. Only a clinical assessment can determine if one is placed at this level. Sessions meet Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm and Saturday morning 09:30 to 12:30.

Longer Term Treatment
40-89 Hours

Based on the results of your substance use assessment, you could be referred to a Longer term Substance Use Treatment Program. You would be placed in this program in accordance with guidelines issued by NCDWI Services, which regulates DWI assessments and treatment. Only a clinical assessment can determine if one is placed at this level. Sessions meet Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm and Saturday morning 09:30 to 12:30.

In Cases Where Clients May Need a Higher Level of Care, an Appropriate Referral to Other Agencies Providing Those Services will be Offered.
