This program provides addiction screening, assessment and treatment services for people convicted of alcohol-related driving offences. Prior to being eligible to apply for their driver’s licence, all drivers convicted of alcohol-related driving offences must be screened for addictions.

If screening results show no chemical dependence, clients are referred to Driving Without Impairment educational courses. If screening indicates dependence, as defined by the World Health Organization, clients are referred to further assessment and rehabilitative services. Clients must satisfactorily complete treatment before becoming eligible to get their driver’s licence back.

Addiction screening services are generally available within 150 kilometres of the client's residence. SGI is responsible for licence suspension and reinstatement and for the Driving Without Impairment Program.
