Behavioral Health Intervention Center (BHIC) in Charlotte, North Carolina offers DWI assessments and education programs for individuals who have been convicted of a DWI charge. The assessments are conducted by licensed alcoholism counselors and are used to determine the level of treatment required by the offender. BHIC utilizes the ASAM criteria, which provides guidelines for placement and treatment based on the severity of the addiction.

The treatment levels offered by BHIC include:

1. Level 0.1: Alcohol Drug Education Traffic School (ADETS): This is a 16-hour program recommended for first-time DWI offenders without prior DWI history.

2. Level 1.0: Outpatient Treatment and Services: This level includes short-term outpatient treatment (20-39 hours) and long-term outpatient treatment (40-89 hours). The duration of treatment depends on the individual's assessment results.

3. Level 2.0: Intensive Outpatient Treatment: This level is recommended for individuals with a diagnosis of substance abuse dependence beyond the scope of long-term outpatient treatment. It involves a minimum of 90 hours of treatment over at least 90 days.

4. Level 3.0: Inpatient and Residential Treatment Services: This level is carried out in a residential setting for a minimum of 90 days, with a continued care plan beyond that period.

5. Level 4.0: Medically Managed Intensive Inpatient Services: This level provides round-the-clock nursing care and daily physician care for severe, unstable problems.

BHIC offers both in-person and virtual DWI assessments to cater to individual needs, ensuring convenient access to their services. If you or someone you know requires a drug or alcohol evaluation or a DWI assessment, BHIC is a court-recognized facility that can provide comprehensive services.
