Frequently Asked Questions


  1. Can I use my health savings account to pay for DIP?
    • Yes you can! Although we do not accept insurance, HSA's are used like credit cards. We can charge the cost of the class to your HSA card. In most cases, they will allow you to bill the entire amount to your account. 
  2. What happens at DIP?
    • This program is an educational program. The State of Ohio requires a minimum of 15 hours of education during the weekend, and the State of West Virginia requires 18 hours. Therefore, to satisfy both, our 4-day program offers 18 hours of classroom time, 5 hours of small group discussion time, and two hours of individual counseling. Most of our time is spent in program activities, so the weekend goes by very quickly. Clients often bring books, but there is very little time to read them. (Colouring books have become widely popular for downtime during breaks and at night!)
  3. How will the courts know that I attended/completed the class?
    • We produce three copies of the Program Completion Report. Once stays in the client file for 6 years, per State Guidelines. The second copy goes to the client for his or her personal records, and the third copy is either; a). mailed to the referral source (usually the probation officer or attorney), or b). the client will hand carry it to where it needs to go. The client may choose either option. Clients are also given an official Certificate of Completion at the end of the program.
