Janus DUI Programs

Being convicted of Driving Under the Influence can be a traumatic experience that comes with significant consequences. Although for many people the programs are not voluntary, Janus works with clients to make it a meaningful experience. DUI staff provide a supportive environment in which participants can focus not only on meeting court/DMV program requirements, but can use this opportunity to explore what prompts them to place themselves in harm’s way, and how to avoid this in the future. This is done through driver education and counseling services. This DUI Program also works closely with other Janus programs and community resources to ensure that clients receive the services they need. When appropriate, our staff will also make no-cost referral to higher levels of treatment.

Quality, Evidence-Based DUI Education

Janus DUI facilitates an engaging and cutting-edge education curriculum called Prime for Life. On average, individuals who participate in Prime for Life have a significantly lower one-year re-arrest rate than traditional DUI programs. Click here for more information about Prime for Life.

Prevent Drinking and Driving

Our mission is to educate and impact DUI clients to prevent future drinking and driving, by providing effective driver education and counseling services. This DUI Program works closely with other Janus programs and community resources to ensure that clients receive the services they need. When appropriate, our staff will also make no-cost referral to higher levels of treatment. We work cooperatively with the criminal justice system, including judges, adult probation, state parole and other referring agencies such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Janus will e-file proof of enrollment to the DMV shortly after enrollment to speed up the restricted license process for eligible clients.

Download the Janus DUI Brochure for more information about the process.
