Drink driving offences can become a positive point of change for many people.

An appropriate programme of treatment can often be undertaken in mitigation of sentencing where someone who is facing 
sentencing has decided that they wish to take control of their drinking and seek abstinence from alcohol.

For some people having been caught and charged for high-level drink-driving brings them to the point of realising that their drinking is at a dangerous level. In many cases the person realises that have endangered the lives of others - often family members as well  as their own life.

Through our full range of rehabilitation programmes provided residentially and at-home treatment or through a combination of both, many people have stopped drinking and are now in full recovery.

"I can't believe that I've been driving my grandchildren around in the state I have been. I could have killed them at anytime. I couldn't face the thought of prison and knew in my heart of hearts that I was hurting my wife. I never thought I was that bad, but now realise that I will wind up killing myself or someone else if I don't get some serious help and stop drinking for good."
