DWI Impact Carolina Services

Specialties

Serenity Services/​Impact Carolina Services, Inc is fully licensed by NC DWI Services and will assist you with your assessment in a professional, confidential and timely manner. Don’t be misled by mailed or other notices that say you must go to any particular agency for a DWI assessment. You can choose ANY licensed NC DWI agency you like. We can assure you that you would not be wrong should you choose to come to us for services. According to North Carolina DWI laws, if you are convicted of DWI you are required to obtain a clinical substance abuse assessment and complete an education class or substance abuse treatment. The assessment determines whether you will be recommended to complete a substance abuse education class (ADETS) or a treatment program (usually outpatient). The assessment and subsequent recommendation requirements must be completed by an agency licensed to provide those services to DWI clients before NCDMV will reinstate your driver’s license at the end of your license revocation period.

Important Note: the results of a clinical assessment and recommendation cannot be used as evidence to prove guilt or innocence for the DWI charge. It is only used to provide a sentencing/​intervention alternative (ADETS or treatment program) to the court if you are convicted of the charge on other grounds.

History

Established in 1975.

Allow at least 90 minutes for the DWI assessment when you schedule your appointment. You need your citation, lifetime driving record (we can assist with that) and the printout of your breath/​blood test. This will help you leave the assessment with all the paperwork you need for your attorney, court or the NC Division of Motor Vehicles.
