The Mike Link Driver Intervention Program offers a transformative experience at Camp Burton in Geauga County, Ohio, set amidst the serene backdrop of 200 acres of natural beauty. This state-certified program, conducted by licensed professionals from Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers, Inc., provides an essential alternative to incarceration for individuals facing impaired driving convictions, adhering to the guidelines of the Ohio Revised Code. Spanning seventy-two hours from Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon, the program emphasizes education, reflection, and personal growth.

Participants engage in both individual and group counseling designed to address the underlying issues related to their convictions. An initial screening helps distinguish between social and problematic substance use, paving the way for meaningful discussions on impairment, legal implications, consumption patterns, medical and social aspects, family dynamics, and available recovery resources. Led by a professional counselor, the program fosters an environment where participants can gain insights into their behaviors beyond legal consequences.

The curriculum is enriched with presentations from legal experts, law enforcement professionals, addiction counselors, and individuals in recovery, alongside engaging video content and interactive group sessions. The supportive and educational atmosphere not only aids in understanding the factors contributing to impaired driving but also encourages participants to consider their paths to recovery. Ultimately, the Mike Link Driver Intervention Program strives to empower individuals to make informed choices and foster lasting change in their lives.
