In Vermont, it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. If you are convicted of driving under the influence, you must complete the Impaired Driver Rehabilitation Program (IDRP) to reinstate your unrestricted drivers license.
IDRP Process
- Evaluation: An IDRP Clinical Evaluator will provide a screening.
- Education: 10 hours of education including lectures, reading materials, videos and small group discussions. This education is the same anywhere in Vermont and can be completed in 2 days or over 4 weeks.
- Treatment: Treatment may be required. If it is, you must complete the required number of hours with a clinician that is licensed in the State of Vermont, or a counselor with at least a Master’s degree who is pursuing licensure in the State of Vermont.
- Exit Interview: The Evaluator may require an exit interview after you complete your requirements.
