SATOP


Step One: The Screening Process Missouri law
now requires all persons arrested for DWI to complete an assessment screening of
their alcohol and substance use related to their driving behavior. This
screening consists of a Department of Revenue driver's record
check,
completion of the Missouri Driver Risk Inventory II (DRI-II), and an
individualized interview. The results of the screening determine
the
appropriate level of SATOP placement for each client. Once examined, SATOP
officials assign the appropriate service(s) for the
individual, which are
listed below in Step 2.
Step Two: SATOP Services
1. Offender
Education Program (OEP): A 10-hour education course designed specifically to
assist lower risk, first-time offenders in understanding the
choices they
made that led to their intoxication and arrest. Education is key to helping
first-time offenders take responsibility for their actions.
2. Adolescent
Diversion Education Program (ADEP): An education program for minors who may have
received Abuse/Lose, Minor in Possession, or
Zero Tolerance
offenses.
3. Weekend Intervention Program (WIP): A level of service
designed for repeat offenders or "high risk", first-time offenders using
intensive education and
counseling intervention methods over a marathon
weekend of structured activities. The program is conducted in a restrictive
environment.
4. Clinical Intervention Program (CIP): A 50-hour outpatient
counseling program consisting of individual counseling, group counseling, and
group education.
Ten hours must address DWI/DUI issues.
5. Youth
Clinical Intervention (YCIP): A program for minors who have been identified
through the screening process as having serious problems with substance
abuse.
6. Traditional Treatment: Individuals presenting for SATOP
services having multiple alcohol or drug related traffic offenses, or those
identified through the
screening process as being at a “high risk” for
chemical dependency, may receive a recommendation for more traditional
treatment. Individuals may also
choose, for a variety of reasons, to
complete a traditional treatment program. This treatment may be in the
form of a residential program or an intensive
outpatient program but must be
completed at a state certified, or nationally accredited, substance abuse
treatment program.
