Family Counseling & Rehabilitation Center of Ohio

The 72-Hour Driver Intervention Program (DIP) offered by Family Counseling & Rehabilitation Center of Ohio provides a structured, educational alternative to incarceration for individuals charged with OVI. Certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services, this program supports participants in examining and addressing behaviors that led to their arrest, offering insights into substance use and its consequences. Held monthly at the Comfort Suites in Marietta, Ohio, the program features classes, lectures, videos, and group discussions to empower participants with knowledge and strategies for making healthier choices in the future.

Participants must follow comprehensive rules and guidelines designed to maintain a safe, respectful, and distraction-free environment. The program enforces strict policies on punctuality, prohibits the use of alcohol and drugs during the stay, and requires all medications to be declared and stored securely. Additionally, personal items are subject to inspection to ensure compliance with the program’s standards.

The DIP emphasizes respect and courtesy between staff and participants, offering a supportive atmosphere while maintaining accountability. The structured schedule includes meal times, supervised room accommodations, and regular breaks. Family Counseling & Rehabilitation Center of Ohio provides 24-hour security throughout the weekend to ensure participants’ safety and adherence to program policies. The DIP is designed to encourage self-reflection, engagement, and meaningful participation, supporting individuals in taking steps toward a more responsible and informed future.
