If you have been convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), you've probably spent many hours researching the law, talking to attorneys, arranging rides to and from the courthouse, and taking care of other related matters. But now that you've been convicted of the crime, you'll need to figure out how to pay that steep fine, apply for a limited use license and have an ignition interlock device installed (if required to do so), and maybe even serve time behind bars. It really depends on the details of your case, the competence of your legal defense, and the DUI laws of your state. However, the vast majority of jurisdictions also require DUI offenders to complete special DUI classes, online in many instances.
While some states also require offenders to complete a substance abuse treatment plan in addition to a DUI class, these two components sometimes are combined into the same program. The links below will help you find DUI classes online, which are typically provided by non-governmental entities that are licensed by the state.
Additionally, you can search the Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator maintained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The providers listed in this database all have been approved by their respective state substance abuse agencies, but make sure they specifically meet the requirements of your state's DUI program.

Impaired driving charges are quite common, but that doesn't mean they aren't taken seriously. If you're convicted of a DUI, you'll lose your driving privileges for a certain amount of time, pay fines, and maybe even spend some time in jail. The best way to protect your interests is to speak with a DUI attorney, who can help you find DUI classes online and generally "soften the blow" from a DUI charge.
