Intoxicated Driver Program
​
An Intoxicated Driver Program (IDP) assessment is an interview between a driver convicted of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol and an IDP assessor. The assessment needs to be completed in the convicted person’s county of residence. The assessment determines the driver’s need for education or treatment.
​
During the IDP assessment, a Driver’s safety plan will be created which is required by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for licensing. The driver’s safety plan is valid for one year.
All requirements of the driver’s safety plan need to be completed within that year period. All client information is kept strictly confidential.
Outpatient Substance Use Treatment
​
Outpatient AODA (Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse) treatment refers to a form of treatment for substance use disorders in which the patient attends individual and group counseling while continuing to live at home and maintain their daily responsibilities, such as work or school. Outpatient treatment can be an effective option for individuals who have a mild to moderate substance use disorder, a supportive living environment, and the ability to remain abstinent while in their community.
Outpatient treatment programs vary in terms of the intensity and frequency of treatment sessions, but typically involve a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and addiction education. Some programs may also incorporate medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Refine Counseling focuses heavily on the group and individual counseling aspects of outpatient treatment.
Outpatient treatment may be recommended for individuals who have completed an inpatient treatment program and need ongoing support to maintain their recovery, or for those who do not require the intensive, 24-hour care provided by inpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment can be a more flexible and affordable option than inpatient treatment and can provide individuals with the tools and resources they need to sustain long-term recovery.
