What Is DWI Treatment and Do I Need It?
January 20, 2025

Facing a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charge can be overwhelming. Beyond the legal consequences, there are emotional, behavioral, and mental health factors that need attention. That’s where DWI treatment comes in—a court-approved, structured program designed to help you address the underlying issues tied to impaired driving.

At PeachTree Behavioral, LLC, our DWI treatment services are designed not just to fulfill legal obligations, but to promote long-term change, accountability, and personal growth.

What Is DWI Treatment?

DWI treatment is a rehabilitative program often required by courts after a DWI offense. It typically includes:

  • Substance abuse evaluations
  • Individual or group therapy
  • Education on the effects of drugs and alcohol
  • Relapse prevention strategies
  • Documentation for court or probation officers

The goal isn’t just punishment—it’s support and behavioral change.

At PeachTree Behavioral, LLC, we tailor our DWI treatment programs to fit the needs of each individual while maintaining compliance with local regulations and requirements.

Who Is Required to Take DWI Treatment?

You may be ordered to complete DWI treatment if:

  • You’ve been convicted of a DWI or DUI
  • You’re on probation for an alcohol-related offense
  • Your license is suspended and you need treatment for reinstatement
  • A court, lawyer, or probation officer recommends it
  • You personally recognize that substance use is affecting your ability to drive safely

Our team works with attorneys, probation departments, and courts across Georgia to ensure your treatment meets official guidelines.

What to Expect from PeachTree’s DWI Services

Our DWI treatment process includes:

✅ Substance Abuse Assessment

We evaluate your history and patterns of use to determine the appropriate level of care.

✅ Personalized Counseling

You’ll work with a licensed mental health professional in one-on-one or group settings, based on your needs.

✅ Educational Sessions

Understand the physiological and legal impacts of impaired driving and how to avoid future risks.

✅ Progress Monitoring & Reporting

We provide documentation and updates as needed for legal or employer compliance.

This structure allows you to complete the program while receiving meaningful help—not just checking a box.

Benefits of DWI Treatment Beyond the Courtroom

While many enter DWI treatment because it’s mandated, the personal rewards often go beyond meeting a court requirement:

  • Improved understanding of your behavior and choices
  • Reduced risk of re-offending
  • Healthier coping mechanisms
  • Increased awareness of substance abuse triggers
  • Supportive environment to grow and heal

With PeachTree Behavioral, LLC, you’re never treated like just a case file—we see you as a person with the ability to move forward stronger.

How Long Does DWI Treatment Take?

The length of a DWI program depends on:

  • The severity of your offense
  • Any prior convictions
  • Recommendations from your assessment
  • Requirements from the court or legal authorities

Some individuals may complete a short-term program, while others may be required to participate for several weeks or months. Either way, our team ensures that the journey is both effective and respectful.

Is DWI Treatment Confidential?

Yes. At PeachTree Behavioral, LLC, we prioritize your privacy. While we provide necessary reports to legal entities when required, all sessions are conducted in a safe, judgment-free, and confidential space.

Whether you’ve been referred by a court, probation officer, or attorney—or you simply recognize the need for change—PeachTree Behavioral, LLC is here to support you.
