Impaired driving programmes
Our Driving Forwards Programme is a group work programme for recidivist drink drivers. It is currently available in Manawatū, Counties Manukau and the Wairarapa. Participants are usually referred to us by the justice system.
The programme focuses on motivating recidivist drink drivers to change their behaviour and provide strategies to do this. The course include a combination of alcohol education, information on safer driving, victim awareness and managing high risk situations.

Hamilton Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Court (AODTC)
The AODTC (Te Whare Whakapiki Wairua ki Kirikiriroa) was established to address the underlying causes of offending that are linked to addiction.
It provides a way to break the cycle by focusing on healing and wellbeing.
If you are involved in the Hamilton Court system and facing a prison sentence of six months to three years and are pleading guilty, this programme could be a good option for you. If you’re interested, ask your lawyer to refer you to Te Whare Whakapiki Wairua ki Kirikiriroa.
