SCRAMx and Probation
In most jurisdictions, probation is mandatory in DUI/DWI cases. For other alcohol-related crimes, offenders may also be placed under some form of probationary supervision.
During probation, judges typically impose one or more conditions, including:
- Abstinence from alcohol
- Treatment/counseling
- Mandatory alcohol testing
- House arrest
- Community service
- Driving restrictions
Key objectives of the SCRAMx Probation Program include:
- Ensures compliance with court-ordered abstinence as a condition of probation
- Promotes enforceable accountability
- Provides evidence-based assessment, detection, and deterrence
- Helps offenders prove extended sobriety to be considered for driver’s license reinstatement
- Assesses the offender’s alcohol dependency and drinking patterns
- Enables offenders to maintain jobs and family obligations, and contribute positively to the community while on probation
- Produces better long-term outcomes when combined with treatment
