Driver Intervention Program
A different kind of 72-hour program certified by the state of Ohio
About the Program
Alternative Horizon Counseling delivers a different kind of 72-hour Driver Intervention Program certified by the state of Ohio MHAS. At AHCC, we take pride in our non-judgmental, holistic approach to the clients we service and the education we provide. We believe in a three-tier mindfulness approach of mind, body, and spirit.
By utilizing the power of positive thinking, personalized service, and smaller class sizes, we provide our clients an educational experience they will enjoy.
Our 72-hour program includes interactive activities consisting of educational presentations, enlightening speakers, feature films and videos, along with group sessions and individualized counseling. Our program also allows you supervised and designated recreation time (after the program day) including the use of the hotel's pool, spa, and fitness center, plus other hotel amenities.
