NEW
JERSEY: Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Treatment Centers
General Information:
Following
conviction, all offenders must attend a state-funded
Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC) for 2 days at 6
hours a day for education classes and a counseling
session. The offender pays a surcharge for the program (1st offense = $75 per day, 2nd offense = $100 per day or
$200 for a 48 hour period). These fees may be increased
via regulations promulgated by the Commissioner of Health
after consulting with the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism
and Drug Abuse.
Assessment
of offenders is conducted as part of the IDRC program, and
offenders do not return to court for final sentencing
based on the assessment.
Treatment
is mandatory for all offenders. For the 2nd offense, the
imprisonment term may be served in an IDRC. For 3rd and
subsequent offenses, the imprisonment term may be served
in an inpatient rehabilitation facility but not an IDRC (The offender may return to the IDRC for a follow-up
evaluation and treatment as needed).
Offenders
failing to comply with the terms of their program are not
eligible for license reinstatement and may be returned to
the court for further action.
New
Jersey does not have dedicated detention and treatment
facilities that target the hardcore drunk driver outside
of the IDRC system.
New
Jersey’s unusual non-criminal approach allows the state to
bring offenders to justice expeditiously and to address
their rehabilitation more efficiently as well. In
addition, the state programs of the IDRP are applied
consistently, allowing fewer offenders to escape the "net"
designed to improve their behavior. The Intoxicated Driver
Program in New Jersey is 100% self-supporting from fees
charged to offenders.
BEWARE: Completing an alcohol program may not satisfy the DMV. That is just one reason why it is critical that you consult with a lawyer in your area that concentrates on DUI / DWI defense.
