Interlock Enhancement Counseling (IEC)

What is IEC?

A Good Life Counseling is now offering Interlock Enhancement Counseling; a new, evidence based treatment for DUI offenders with interlock devices installed in their vehicles.

IEC combines cognitive behavioral treatment with motivational interviewing.

Thirty minute individual sessions and two hour group sessions will be conducted once per month for an accumulation of 10 hours towards DUI Therapy Treatment Tracks B, C and D. The entire treatment is structured and requires a five month commitment to complete. Participants will be given a certificate after hours have been completed.
