Mandatory Participation in an IDRC Program
As part of the sentencing for a DWI conviction, defendants must fulfill the program requirements of an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC). Usually, a DWI offender must submit to 12 hours at the center and will meet with drug and alcohol counselors to determine if more counseling is needed. The intoxicated driver must fulfill everything that is proscribed. Failure to do so may result in a 2 day mandatory jail sentence. In addition to counseling and education programs, the participant is also responsible for certain fees associated with the IDRC. Again, failure to pay the fees will result in jail-time. If it is determined that the convicted DWI offender needs further counseling, the burdens may become overwhelming as he/she will not be able to drive to counseling because of a suspended license.
