These types of schools help educate drivers with drug and alcohol abuse problems about the dangers to themselves - and others on the road - of DUI and DWI. And, in the process, help reduce the chances they'll repeat their mistake. The length of the course and the topics covered in DUI and DWI schools vary by state and by how many DUI convictions a driver has had.

In many states, an individual convicted of drunk driving must complete a DWI/DUI awareness course in order to restore their driving privileges. If you're in this situation, be sure to take the course from a state-approved provider. The court should give you a list of schools that meet state standards; if not, ask for one.

Because DUI laws are complex and DUI convictions carry lasting and damaging consequences, it's smart to consult with a DUI lawyer. Doing so will help you understand the applicable laws, protect your rights, and could result in reduced punishment (such as suspension length, jail time, fines, probation, etc.).
