Programs and Services

We offer a wide range of online classes and services that cater to the unique needs of our clients. Our programs include:

• SATOP (Substance Awareness Traffic Offenders Program): SATOP offers a comprehensive range of components designed to fit the level of education or treatment required for DWI offenders. The program consists of a screening process to determine the appropriate level of services for each offender. Based on the screening, offenders are referred to a 10-hour education program (OEP), a weekend intervention program (CIP), a youth clinical intervention program (Y-CIP), or a 50+ hours of Outpatient program. Completion of the SATOP program is often required for license reinstatement for drivers whose license has been revoked or suspended due to DWI.
• Ignition Interlock Device: We partner with Smart Start, the best in the industry, to meet your court-ordered ignition interlock needs. The Smart Start ignition interlock device prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver has been drinking.
• Defensive Driving: Our online Defensive Driving course is designed to help drivers improve their skills and become safer on the road. The course is available to all Missouri residents and satisfies court-ordered requirements.
