Columbia County – Intoxicated Driver Program
Individuals convicted of “operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant” or a related offense, are required, by Wisconsin law, to undergo an IDP Assessment.
The IDP Assessment evaluates the individual’s alcohol, drug, and prescription drug usage to determine if an alcohol or drug problem exists.
All IDP Assessments result in a Drivers Safety Plan — which is intended to help reduce the risk for repeat “drunk driving” offenses. The Drivers Safety Plan determines whether the individual is required to complete an Educational Program or a Counseling Program.

Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) Assessment
Individuals are typically referred for an AODA Assessment by a judge, lawyer, probation and parole agent, employer, or school personnel. AODA Assessments are conducted by a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. They typically require two sessions and include testing.
Upon completion of the AODA Assessment, the counselor sends the referring agency a letter that specifies alcohol abuse treatment or substance abuse treatment recommendations, such as “AODA Group Therapy” or Outpatient Individual AODA Counseling.
Consumers are responsible for all fees associated with the AODA Assessment process.
