In efforts to promote community safety through use of evidence–based practices and interventions, our Probation department facilitates the following classes:

Decision Points – DUI

Completion of this class is mandatory for participants of the DUI Court program.

A cognitive behavioral, evidence–based program designed to assist individuals in addressing their thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs that may lead to poor choices around: drinking and driving and/or driving with a suspended license. Clients are given the opportunity to learn new skills that can help make better decisions.

Referral & Requirements

Clients are referred to this program via court order by a District Court or Superior Court judge, or the Therapeutic Court team.

The program consists of four lessons covered over six weeks. The class is “closed” meaning that new individuals cannot join an active group, and class sizes are limited. Referrals received while classes are closed may be placed on a waiting list. Class occurs once per week.

Proper attendance, participation, and completion of homework assignments is a requirement.

DV–MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy)

The program consists of 24 class modules over a (minimum) 24–week period. The class is “open” meaning that new individuals can join throughout an ongoing group. However, class sizes are limited, and new referrals may be placed on a waiting list. Class occurs once per week.
