DWI Assessment & Counseling Services

Complete Your DWI Assessment as Soon as Possible

A North Carolina DWI Assessment is required of anyone who is convicted of Driving While Impaired in the state of North Carolina. After your Driver's License has been revoked due to a DWI, you must have completed a Substance Abuse Assessment and completed whatever steps recommended by the assessment prior to receiving a Limited Driving Privilege.

NOTE: You will not receive a Limited Driving Privilege in the state of North Carolina without a DWI Assessment.

DWI assessments and groups can only be conducted in person by a qualified or certified substance abuse professional in facilities licensed by the state of North Carolina. Assessments must follow American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria (ASAM) to decide your needs. If you are not given a diagnosis, you will be referred to an education program.

NOTE: When pulled over, anyone failing to submit to a breath test and anyone registering over 0.14% must be referred to treatment.

The cost of all NC DWI Assessments is a manditory $100 fee, no matter which facility in North Carolina you select to assist you. The $100 fee is established statewide by the Legislature of the State of North Carolina. This fee will be collected at the time of the assessment.

Allow approximately 2 hours for your DWI assessment when you arrive for your scheduled appointment. Remember to bring your lifetime Motor Vehicle Report (MVR's can be accessed in-office for a small fee) and the results of your breath/blood test. Once you complete the DWI Assessment, you will have the paperwork necessary for your attorney, court date or the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles.
