What does IDCMP mean in MANAGEMENT

An Impaired Driver Care Management Program (IDCMP) is a type of program that provides resources and support for those who have been charged with a DUI/DWI offense. These programs can include educational courses, substance abuse assessments, treatment plans, monitoring, therapy sessions, probationary services, and important resources for finding continued sobriety.

Individuals who were convicted of a DUI/DWI offense are typically eligible to participate in an IDCMP. Depending on the state laws, eligibility may also depend on the individual's blood alcohol concentration level at the time of arrest. In some states, individuals may be required to attend multiple sessions or classes if their BAC was particularly high at the time of arrest.

The length of an IDCMP will vary depending on several factors such as severity of offenses as well as state and local guidelines. Generally speaking, participants can expect to spend anywhere from 6-18 months working with their care management team until all requirements are completed.

Upon completion of the program tasks outlined by your care manager—participants will receive a “Certificate of Completion” from their provider that must be presented during court proceedings and other judicial proceedings associated with your case. You will also receive evidence-based strategies and tools that you can use when faced with situations that might lead you back into trouble with impaired driving again in the future.

Many different types of treatment options are available through most Impairment Driver Care Management Programs such as individual counseling sessions, group therapy sessions exploring various topics like anger management or relapse prevention strategies, educational classes related to drugs & alcohol use and abuse behaviors,12 Step community meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), intensive outpatient programs and inpatient treatment centers depending on severity.
