The Six Month First Offender Marin County DUI Program is an Education and Group counseling program for the driver ordered by court to attend an extended First Offender DUI Program. The Education curriculum (6 weeks) includes videos, lectures and group discussions with informational materials on DUI law, court requirements, substance abuse and problem drinking. The Group Counseling component of the program (16 weeks) is conducted in a supportive atmosphere in which participants assess their relationship with alcohol.
Programs are conducted in English and Spanish. Our bilingual (Spanish/English) staff is usually available Monday through Thursday, 10am to 7pm and Friday, 10am to 3pm to assist you in setting up a registration appointment.
