A DWI checkpoint, also known as a sobriety checkpoint or roadblock, is a temporary road stop where law enforcement officers check drivers for signs of intoxication or impairment:

The purpose of a DWI checkpoint is to deter drunk driving by increasing the risk of being caught and arrested. Officers at a checkpoint are looking for drivers who are drunk, drugged, drowsy, or distracted. They may ask to see a driver's license and registration, and may also perform tests such as a breathalyzer, one-leg-stand, or walk-and-turn. If a driver is found to be impaired, they can be arrested and charged with a DUI.
DWI checkpoints are typically highly visible and publicized in advance. They are often set up on weekends and holidays.

We're her if you need us.

Why is group therapy beneficial?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that can be important for a number of reasons, including:

Sense of community
Group therapy can help people feel less alone and more accepted by others who share similar experiences.

Learning
Group members can learn from each other, gaining new perspectives and coping strategies.

Social skills
Group therapy can help people become more comfortable in social situations.

Accountability
Group members can provide positive feedback and hold each other accountable, which can help people achieve their goals.

Self-discovery
Group members can see themselves through the eyes of others, which can help them identify blind spots and improve their coping skills.

Fresh perspectives
Group members can share their experiences and how they managed them, which can be eye-opening.

Cost
Group therapy is usually more affordable than individual therapy.

Efficiency
A single therapist can reach many people at once.

Call if we can be of help!

What’s the purpose of a DWI assessment?

The purpose of the assessment is to determine how serious a factor alcohol or drugs are in the individual's life, not to judge or punish them. The results of the assessment will determine what treatment plan is required, which could include alcohol drug education traffic school, outpatient treatment, or inpatient treatment.

Call if you have any questions or need support.
