IDCMP Program Requirements

If you are convicted of an Aggravated offense, you are required to complete an approved NH Impaired Driver Care Management Program (IDCMP) consisting of:

 

  • Substance use disorder (SUD) evaluation:  you must schedule a SUD evalution within 30 days of your release from jail and you will need to complete the Evaluation with one of our staff Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselors (LADC) within 60 days of your release.  The SUD evaluation requires an intake interview to take place prior to meeting with the LADC and will be scheduled on the same day as the evaluation.

 

  • Compliance Requirements: You must remain in compliance with the Service Plan developed as a result of the evaluation.  Failure to do so will result in the IDCMP filing a Non-compliance form with the court, the court prosecutor, the NH DMV, and the NH Bureau of Drug & Alcohol Services and will result in you being required to serve any suspended time in jail (usually 12 days).

 

  • Impaired Driver Education Program (IDEP) or Weekend Impaired Driver Education Program (WIDEP):  You must complete a 20 hour education program, which can be either a Weekend Impaired Driver Education Program or an Impaired Driver Education Program (if one has not been completed within the past 5 years)

 

  • ŸFees Paid:  All required fees for service from the IDCMP and any required treatment provider must be paid in full.
