Intoxicated driver program

Any person convicted of an alcohol related traffic offense must participate in a program at an Intoxicated Driving Resource Center (IDRC):

• New Jersey has an IDRC in each county for first and third-time offenders and three regional centers for second-time offenders
• During the program, offenders attend mandatory Alcohol and Highway Safety Education courses
• IDRC also evaluates each offender for an alcohol or drug problem and determines the need for treatment
• If treatment is needed, the center refers the offender to an appropriate provider for a 16-week minimum treatment
• Offender may supplement the treatment with attendance at a self-help group
• IDRC monitors compliance and reports noncompliance to the courts and MVC

Satisfactory participation in IDRC is a step toward restoring your license. Failure to comply will result in further license suspension and possible jail time.

IDRC fees and other related charges may apply:

Charge	Paid To
$100 attendance fee	MVC
$230 first offender fee	IDRC
$280 second offender fee	IDRC
$100 license restoration fee	MVC
