Intoxicated Driving Resource Center (IDRC) & Intoxicated Driver Program (IDP)
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 offende must complete a 16-week minimum treatment
- IDRC monitors compliance and reports noncompliance to the courts and IDP. IDP makes recommendation to the MVC for suspension or restoration based on the offender’s successful completion of conviction requirements.
