Habitual/Multiple Offender Evaluations

A recommendation is then made to the court regarding license restoration.

Habitual/Multiple Offender Relapse Prevention
A curriculum developed by VASAP to educate the Habitual/Multiple Offender population and reduce the incidence of relapse and recidivism. The lack of education, information, and understanding of the relapse process are significant contributing factors for relapse and recidivism. Relapse problems and recidivism can be reduced if the individual approaches continued recovery with knowledge and information about the process of recovery.

Driving Suspended Program
This program is available for individuals required by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to complete an Intervention Interview. The program consists of one appointment that includes the viewing of a DVD followed by an individual appointment with an ASAP staff member to review the individual's driving record.

Ignition Interlock
This is a statutorily mandated program for offenders convicted of a second offense DUI or first DUI offense with a BAC of .15 or higher. In this program, a device is attached to the offender's car which prohibits it from starting unless the offender is alcohol free. The offender must blow into this device before starting the car. The equipment logs the offender's blood alcohol level during each use, and detects any tampering that is made to the interlock system.

Additionally, while driving, the offender will be required to give a breath sample every 5-20 minutes. If the offender tests positive while driving, the car's horn will sound, and its high beam lights will flash on and off. Any tampering with the interlock system by the offender (Class I misdemeanor) will cause the offender to be sent back to court as non-compliant. The offender can be jailed for this tampering, as well as pay a heavy fine.
