In Georgia, individuals whose driver’s licenses or driving privileges have been suspended or revoked due to alcohol-related offenses, such as Driving Under the Influence (DUI), must complete a state-certified DUI Alcohol or Drug Risk Reduction Program to reinstate their driving privileges. This requirement also applies to violations like Boating Under the Influence (BUI) and Underage Possession of Alcohol. Additionally, those charged with other offenses may be mandated by the court or their probation officer to undergo this program, which may need to be completed before attending court.

The Risk Reduction Program consists of a two-step process. First, participants complete an assessment involving a questionnaire about their attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol and drug use and driving. The second step involves a 20-hour intervention course, commonly referred to as “DUI class,” which utilizes the PRIME FOR LIFE curriculum. It is essential for participants to attend both the assessment and the intervention course at the same location, as assessments cannot be transferred to different schools.

Fees for the program are set by Georgia law, with the assessment costing $100 and the 20-hour course priced at $260, which includes a $25 study guide. The total cost for the program is $360, which can be paid in full or split into two payments. If you are seeking to fulfill requirements for another state, it is crucial to confirm with that state's governing agency whether they will accept a Certificate of Completion from Georgia's program.
