First Offense NH DUI

A first offense DWI in NH results in the loss of your driver’s license a fine and completion of an alcohol education program. All first time DUI offenders must enroll and complete the Impaired Driver Intervention Program or a Weekend Impaired Driver Intervention Program. Successful participation in IDCMP can reduce the amount of time you are without driving privileges. If recommended for a drug and alcohol education program, a professional will assess whether they believe you need treatment for a substance abuse problem or if additional counseling is needed. The initial intake screening will help determine if there is a substance abuse disorder and the one hour exit interview will allow the professional to assess the progress and completion of your alcohol program. The typical drug and alcohol education class mandated by the courts is 20 hours of classes followed by an order for more treatment or counseling if necessary.

IDCMP Responsibilities

When someone is recommended for the IDCMP, it is that person’s responsibility to pay the fees and be on-time for every step of the program. The person must also complete the requirements of the program as determined by the professionals involved. Some people may be required to submit to random urinalysis. It is also the person’s responsibility to enroll in the program within 30 days of a conviction.
