DWI Programs

(Level .05 & Level 1.0)

Available virtually across Maryland and through our programs at Crossroads Connect & Westminster Recovery.

A mistake doesn’t have to define your future.

Being charged with a DWI can feel overwhelming.

You may be dealing with courts, attorneys, fines, probation, or interlock devices—and on top of that, the weight of guilt, fear, or shame.

It’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in hoops and requirements.

But this doesn’t mean your life is ruined.

It means you have an opportunity—to learn, grow, and make lasting change.

What those who have gotten a DWI say to themselves:

  • “I’m worried about probation, insurance, and how this will affect my future.”

  • “I feel terrible that I put others at risk—I don’t want to make the same mistake again.”

  • “Why are there so many hoops to jump through? I just want to get my life back on track.”

Who we help:

We support individuals facing a DWI charge—whether it’s a first offense or repeated challenges with alcohol and driving.

Whether you’re a young adult navigating your first court requirement or a professional balancing responsibilities while facing consequences, you may share similar goals:

  • To meet court or MVA requirements

  • To learn strategies that reduce the risk of future problems

  • To regain trust with loved ones—and yourself

  • To move forward with confidence and accountability

What you may be feeling:

People navigating a DWI often describe:

  • Panic or uncertainty about legal and financial consequences

  • Fear about court hearings, assessments, or paperwork

  • Shame about endangering others or letting people down

  • Stress over balancing life responsibilities with mandatory requirements

  • A strong desire to avoid repeating the same mistake

What you want most:

Deep down, those who have gotten a DWI often want:

  • To fulfill their legal obligations successfully

  • To feel confident they can avoid another incident

  • To rebuild trust with themselves and others

  • To put this chapter behind them and move forward

How our program helps:

Our DWI programs provide education, support, and structure to help you not only meet requirements, but also build lasting change. With our support, you can:

  • Understand the impact of alcohol and drugs on decision-making

  • Develop safe driving habits and responsible routines

  • Gain clarity on BAC levels, laws, and risks

  • Learn effective coping strategies for high-risk situations (happy hours, parties, stress triggers)

  • Reduce shame by connecting with others who understand what you’re going through

Why taking this seriously matters:

When DWI issues go unaddressed, consequences multiply—legally, financially, emotionally, and relationally.

But with education and accountability, clients discover that one mistake does not have to define them.

Many use this experience as a turning point toward greater responsibility and growth.

Our approach to DWI care:

At Westminster Recovery Center (Crossroads Connect), we provide:

Level .05 Program (Early Intervention)

2-hour educational groups, once a week for 6 weeks, focused on risk reduction for individuals with a low BAC who may not meet criteria for a substance use disorder.

Level 1.0 Program (Outpatient Treatment)

Weekly groups for six months, where clients learn about addiction, safe driving routines, and practical strategies for navigating social events, weekends, and stress.

Ongoing Coordination

We communicate with probation officers, attorneys, MVA, and other court systems to ensure requirements are met.

Supportive Environment

Our groups provide accountability without judgment—clients help one another reduce shame and build practical skills for the road ahead.

Ready to get back on track?

If you’re ready to fulfill your requirements, learn new skills, and move forward with confidence, our DWI programs can help you turn this challenge into a new beginning.
