Online DWI Services Statewide

The center offers North Carolina drivers, and out-of-state drivers charged in North Carolina, comprehensive, court and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)-approved DWI services entirely online. From mandatory DWI assessments to required education or treatment programs, the center guides clients through every step needed to regain driving privileges. Scheduling is flexible, with weekday, evening, and Saturday options, allowing clients to meet legal requirements without missing work or other responsibilities.

Flexible Education and Treatment Programs

The facility provides Alcohol Drug Education Traffic School (ADETS) classes for first-time offenders who meet specific criteria, as well as short-term (20–39 hours) and long-term (40+ hours) DWI programs. Classes are offered in both English and Spanish, fully accessible online, and designed to fit varied schedules. This accessibility ensures that busy professionals, students, or those living outside major cities can complete their requirements without unnecessary travel.

Intensive Outpatient Care for Substance Use

In addition to DWI services, Absolute Advocacy offers an online intensive outpatient program (IOP) for clients with a substance-related diagnosis. The program uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. Clients with co-occurring mental health needs also receive focused support. Individual and group counseling sessions, substance use education, and family involvement options provide a holistic framework for recovery.

Serving a Broad Range of Clients

Programs are available for adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors, with adapted tracks for veterans, active duty military, criminal justice-involved clients, and individuals with HIV/AIDS. The facility works with clients who use medications for addiction treatment (MAT) prescribed elsewhere, and offers services in Spanish to improve accessibility.

A Supportive, Nonjudgmental Approach

Counselors approach each case with empathy, recognizing the stress, stigma, and uncertainty clients may feel. Rather than focusing on punishment, the team works to guide individuals through legal and treatment requirements with clarity. Clients can expect open communication and a safe, confidential space to participate in services. This supportive environment, paired with flexible virtual access, helps clients engage fully in the process and make meaningful progress toward reinstating their license and improving overall well-being.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
