DUI School

Alcohol & Drug Safety Educational Program - Prime for Life

Program Objective: The Tennessee State Law (T.C.A. section 55-10-403) requires all persons convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol and other intoxicating drugs to receive a minimum of 12 hours of education pertaining to substance abuse and the ability to drive. A licensed DUI School is an early intervention program that provides screening, assessment, and education for individuals convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol and/ or other drugs.
