ADSAP:  An acronym for Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program, deals specifically with individuals convicted of driving under the influence. By working directly with the DUI offender, ADSAP attempts to reduce the number of alcohol and other drug-related incidents resulting in death, injury, or property damage.  The South Carolina Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program (ADSAP)  is a statewide education and treatment program for:

· Individuals who are convicted of driving under the influence (DUI).

· Individuals who are referred by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for boating under the influence (BUI).

· Individuals whose licenses are suspended through the state’s Administrative License Revocation (ALR) procedure.  Drivers fall in this category under the provisions known as “zero tolerance” (which targets drivers under age 21) or “.08” (which is in addition to a charge of DUI for drivers of any age who operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration [BAC] of .08 percent or greater). An individual also is subject to ALR if he refuses to take a blood, breath or urine test for the presence of alcohol or other drugs.

Because thousands of South Carolinians are killed or injured each year in alcohol or other drug related crashes, ADSAP       works with  offenders to reduce the number of crashes that result in death, injury or property damage. ADSAP services    are certified by the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services and are available in each of the   state’s 46 counties.  Please select “ADSAP Questions and Answers” which provides some basic information about ADSAP.

PTI:  Pre-Trial Intervention assists individuals charged with first-time or minor offences. Following an individual assessment, each participant completes a program of counseling, community service work, and a prison tour. Successful completion results in the removal of charges from the person’s record. The PTI program gives individuals a second chance at a productive lifestyle.

PPP:  Probation, Parole, and Pardons program benefits individuals currently in the criminal justice system. After a referral from a local or federal probation agent, applicants are assessed and then placed in the appropriate treatment services (detoxification, outpatient, or residential treatment). Progress is monitored by the counselor and reported to the appropriate agency.

Court Program:  The court program works with individuals who have committed substance abuse-related offences other than DUI. Persons charged with crimes committed under the influence of alcohol or other drugs may be referred for counseling and treatment, reducing the risk of another criminal incident.
