The driver intervention program

Mission
The mission of the Driver Intervention Program is to provide the court with viable sentencing alternatives that  will serve to reduce recidivism among offenders guilty of alcohol/drug­ related offenses.
​
What is the Driver Intervention Program?
The Driver Intervention Program (DIP) is an alternative to the mandatory three-day  jail term  that first-time offenders convicted of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other drugs may attend at the court's  discretion  (as prescribed  by Sections 1547.99 and 4511.19 of the Ohio Revised Code). Each DIP includes traffic safety, education on alcohol and substance use disorders, and small group discussions.
DIPs are a two- or three-day  process of education and screening and may also include a referral for a complete alcohol and other  drug assessment.
This program  is available to offenders charged within Darke or Preble Counties.
