Being charged with a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) for the first time can be a confusing and stressful experience. In Georgia, one of the most common legal requirements following a DWI is to complete an approved DWI class for first-time offenders.

At PeachTree Behavioral, LLC, we offer court-approved DWI classes that not only fulfill legal obligations but also empower individuals to make better decisions, reduce the risk of repeat offenses, and rebuild their lives with clarity and confidence.

Why Are DWI Classes Required in Georgia?

When someone is charged with a first-time DWI offense in Georgia, the court typically mandates completion of an educational course as part of sentencing. These classes serve to:

• Educate participants on the dangers of impaired driving
• Encourage behavioral change and accountability
• Offer support and guidance on avoiding future offenses
• Reduce the likelihood of repeat DWI incidents

By completing a state-approved DWI class, offenders show the court they’re taking responsibility and actively working to improve.

What You’ll Learn in a DWI Class

PeachTree Behavioral’s DWI classes for first-time offenders are designed with both legal compliance and personal growth in mind. Topics often include:

• The effects of alcohol and drugs on judgment and coordination
• Georgia state laws related to DWI/DUI offenses
• The emotional, legal, and financial consequences of impaired driving
• How to identify and avoid high-risk situations
• Tools and strategies for making safer choices in the future

These aren’t just checkbox courses—they are an opportunity to learn, reflect, and move forward.

How Long Are DWI Classes in Georgia?

In most cases, first-time offenders in Georgia are required to complete a 20-hour Risk Reduction Program, commonly known as DUI School or DWI class. These classes may be offered in various formats, such as:

• Weekday classes
• Weekend-intensive options
• Virtual or in-person sessions (based on eligibility and approval)

PeachTree Behavioral offers flexible DWI class schedules to meet the needs of working adults, students, and individuals with family obligations.

• First-time DWI/DUI offenders seeking to fulfill court mandates

What Happens After Completing the DWI Class?

Upon successful completion of the DWI course at PeachTree Behavioral, you will receive:

• A Certificate of Completion recognized by Georgia courts
• A summary report that can be provided to probation officers or attorneys
