IMPACT Operating While Intoxicated assessment and referral
Drivers convicted of Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) are court ordered to see a State-trained substance use disorder counselor for an assessment. In Milwaukee County, the approved facility is IMPACT.
Our counselors offer a pleasant and professional experience where clients feel supported and motivated to resolve their offense. The assessment is a private, one-on-one interview with a substance use disorder professional which lasts approximately one hour. The interview follows a series of questions regarding drinking, drug use and related issues.
Based on the results of the interview, counselors recommended a course of action, called a Driver Safety Plan (DSP). It defines the education or treatment program that clients need to complete in order to acquire and/or retain their driver’s license. In 2023, 787 people who were referred to treatment successfully completed their DSP.
