About Behavioral Health Intervention Center
Behavioral Health Intervention Center holds dual licensure in substance use and clinical mental health counseling. They treat adults ages 18 and over and provide court-ordered classes for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. You’ll find them based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
They don’t offer medication assisted treatment or detox services but may be able to refer clients to appropriate centers nearby. I appreciate that they offer care in Spanish and have bilingual counselors to serve a diverse population.
Flexible Scheduling Options
Their court approved alcohol and drug education courses are offered both in person and online. Programs are offered for folks cited with underage drinking, open container violations, possession of marijuana or purchase of alcohol by a minor. I think it’s helpful that flexible scheduling options make it convenient for students and full-time workers so they won’t have to miss school or work to attend classes.
Your Next Steps After DWI
If you’ve been charged with a DWI or DUI, the North Carolina DMV requires completion of an assessment before you can get your license back. The assessment takes 1.5 hours, and there’s an online option. This process determines your next steps for personalized treatment.
Short term DWI treatment is for those who require minimal intervention, while long term substance abuse treatment provides support for people with dependency or prior offenses. Their Alcohol Drug Education Traffic School is for offenders for their first DWI offense and have no substance use diagnosis. This track lasts 16 hours total.
From Misdemeanors to Workplace Readiness
They also offer cognitive behavioral intervention for individuals cited with misdemeanors, as well as DOT SAP assessments if you’re a commercial driver returning to work after a drug or alcohol violation. Insurance is accepted for individual counseling sessions related to substance use, divorce, and porn or gambling addictions.
Fair Assessments and Genuine Care
People who attended the program say they found the environment welcoming and the instructors genuinely caring. Many commented that the classes felt relevant and were scheduled in ways that didn’t interfere with work. One client said, “I felt the recommendation was fair and the classes fit into my work schedule.”
