NYS Impaired Driver Program

In the event you were referred to me by the Impaired Driver Program, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has been approved by the New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse (OASAS) to conduct assessments and treatment for substance use disorders.

I understand the stress, anger and anxiety you may be feeling at this moment, but please remember that I’m here to help you not to judge you. You’ve been judged enough and right now our work is to restore your driving privileges as quickly and as safely as possible.

All of my evaluations include an extensive clinical interview, state of the art metrics widely used in the field of substance use disorders, results of the evaluation and any treatment recommendations if needed. If treatment is necessary, and you so choose, I am also approved to provide you with the treatment.

As an OASAS approved provider once the evaluation and treatment are completed I will be able to enter all the necessary information into the New York State Impaired Driver System (IDS) so that the DMV can restore your driving privileges.

Now means 24 hours a day ~ 7 days a week.

Understanding the Impaired Driver Program

The Impaired Driver Program (IDP) (previously known as Drinking Driving Program (DDP)) is part of New York State’s effort to lessen the incidence of injury, disability, and fatality that results from alcohol and other drug related motor vehicle crashes, thereby reducing the risk of re-offense for an impaired driving offense.

The Drinking Driver Program (DDP) is now called the Impaired Driver Program (IDP). As this new name is being implemented, you may see the two names interchangeably.

Participants in the IDP will receive an in-depth education regarding high-risk alcohol and other drug choices to assist them in identifying and changing high-risk behaviors. Multimedia presentations and guided discussion increase participants’ motivation to change behavior to protect what they value most in life. Individual and group activities are completed using participant workbooks. Participants also complete a preliminary screening designed to identify risk factors for a substance abuse disorder. Individuals found to be at risk for a substance abuse disorder will be referred for a comprehensive clinical assessment and referral to treatment if warranted.
