a major non-profit provider in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializing in substance use and mental health services. Their ADETS (Alcohol Drug Education Traffic School) is a state-certified program specifically for individuals who have received a DWI or other drug-related charge but do not have a clinically identified substance use disorder.

The ADETS Program

The ADETS program is a 16-hour educational series designed to help participants understand the risks of impaired driving and prevent future incidents.

• Duration: The course is exactly 16 hours of classroom instruction.

• Format: While traditionally held in person, the program is currently available via telehealth, allowing participants to complete the requirements remotely through a live, instructor-led platform.

• Target Audience: This is the standard requirement for “Level 1” offenders—those with a relatively low blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and no prior DWI convictions.

• Cost: In North Carolina, the fee for the ADETS class is set by the state at $160.00.

The Assessment Process

Before you can enroll in ADETS, you must undergo a mandatory DWI Assessment.

• Walk-in Hours: No appointment is needed for initial assessments.

  • Monday – Thursday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

  • Friday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

• Assessment Fee: The state-mandated fee for this clinical interview is $100.00.

• What to Bring: You will need to provide your lifetime driving record and your BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) results from the time of your arrest.
