Hi there!
You are scheduled for the Driver Intervention Program (DIP)
Please make arrangements to be at the hotel no later than 6 p.m. on the Thursday of the program. 

 

Please download the two packets linked above or below and bring them with you to the program. We will go over all of the information on Thursday evening.

A REALLY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR YOUR STOMACH’S HAPPINESS: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HAD DINNER PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL. We don’t provide dinner Thursday evening.
We STRONGLY encourage you to bring snacks/a couple of packaged meals with you to eat for the
weekend.  We will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but many participants get hungry in the
evenings. And not everyone prefers the food choices. EACH ROOM HAS ITS OWN MICROWAVE, and SMALL SIZE REFRIGERATOR.

 
PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO TAKE-OUT or DELIVERY ALLOWED.

We ABSOLUTELY DO check your bags upon arrival.

All snacks and beverages must be in the FACTORY-SEALED containers.  This means anything homemade or opened will be confiscated.  
Please refrain from bringing anything that contains any alcohol or any illegal substances. This
includes any toiletries that have alcohol bases. You may bring tobacco products if they are in the
FACTORY-SEALED package.

There is a workout facility in the hotel.  

You may bring phones, iPads, laptops, etc. to access during breaks or when you are NOT in class.
NO VISITORS ARE ALLOWED WHATSOEVER. The only time someone you know may come to the program site is in the event of an emergency.
You must arrive sober and drug-fee in order to participate in this program. Determination as to your
ability to participate is at the discretion of Health Connections Staff. In the event that you are deemed unable to participate, you will forfeit the cost of the program.

Please arrive no later than 6 pm. This is a 72 hour-in-lieu-of-jail program. In the event that you are late, you may forfeit your fee and your referring court will be informed. Late admittance to the program will be at the discretion of the staff members present at the program upon your arrival.

​

As always, if you have any questions, please call me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
