Enrolling in the recommended treatment before court can also be an advantage at the trial. Many attorneys are now recommending that you enroll at the time of your assessment. Consult your attorney for advice on this.
First Step provides DWI and substance abuse assessments in the evening and on Saturday. The state
of NC requires that a DWI provider charge $100 for the DWI assessment. First Step charges no administrative fees or other charges of any type except for out of state transfers.
To schedule your appointment, call (919) 833-8899.
You can pay by either money order, credit card or cash. Insurance may be used
to assist with paying for counseling, treatment, or groups but not for the DWI
Assessment.
Before the results of your assessment can be finalized, you will need to bring in written proof of your Breathalyzer reading (BAC) if you were arrested for DWI. You can also obtain a copy from the clerk's office or have your attorney fax verification to us. You will also need a certified copy of your driving record . If you have a North Carolina driver's license this can be obtained in room 108 at the DMV located at 1100 New Bern Avenue in Raleigh. First Step staff will pick up your NC driving record and court records if you need that service.
DWI Assessments are completed online at First Step Services, speeding up
the turn around time.
