Under the Influence is a personalized, interaction alcohol intervention course that works for adults and juveniles in courts, high schools, and colleges.
Under the Influence alcohol intervention is geared toward individuals with high-risk drinking or alcohol violations, such as underage drinking, driving under the influence, or public intoxication. The course includes multiple lessons addressing alcohol’s effects on health, drinking and driving, state-specific laws, and alcohol/prescription interactions.
