Driving Forward Programme
Our Driving Forward Programme is a three-day group work programme for recidivist drink and/or substance impaired drivers. It is currently available in Manawatū and the Wairarapa. Participants are usually referred to us by the justice system, however you can also self-refer for the programme here.
The programme focuses on motivating participants to change their behaviour and provide strategies to do this, with the goal of reducing re-offending. The course includes a combination of alcohol and drug 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.
