DUI/DWI Alcohol Education Program

Mazwi Holistic Institute (MHI)

Education. Accountability. Personal Growth.

Supporting responsible choices and meaningful behavioral change.

At Mazwi Holistic Institute, we believe education is an important step toward personal accountability, improved decision-making, and lasting behavioral change.

Our DUI/DWI Alcohol Education Program is designed to help individuals understand the risks associated with alcohol and substance use, recognize the consequences of impaired driving, and develop practical strategies for making safer, healthier choices.

Whether you have been referred by the court, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), or are voluntarily seeking education, MHI provides a supportive, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment focused on learning, self-awareness, and personal development.

Maryland 12-Hour Alcohol Education Program (AEP)

The 12-Hour Alcohol Education Program is a structured educational program intended for individuals who have experienced alcohol-related driving offenses or have been directed to complete alcohol education.

The program consists of 12 hours of education delivered over six weeks, with one two-hour session each week.

Participants receive education about the effects of alcohol and other substances, the dangers of impaired driving, and the relationship between substance use and everyday decision-making.

At MHI, we approach alcohol education as more than simply fulfilling a requirement. We encourage participants to develop greater self-awareness, recognize potentially harmful behavioral patterns, and build the skills necessary to make positive changes.

Who May Benefit From This Program?

Our DUI/DWI education services are intended for individuals who:

Have been referred by a Maryland court following a DUI or DWI offense.
Have received an Alcohol Education Program referral from the Maryland MVA.
Have been directed to participate in alcohol education as part of probation or another legal requirement.
Need to complete an alcohol education program as part of a driver’s license reinstatement process.
Wish to better understand alcohol use, impaired driving, and responsible decision-making.

Program eligibility and placement are determined through an assessment and review of applicable referral requirements.

What Will You Learn?

MHI’s DUI/DWI education curriculum focuses on providing participants with practical knowledge and tools to make informed decisions.

Our Approach: Education With a Holistic Perspective

At Mazwi Holistic Institute, we recognize that behavioral change involves more than acquiring information. It also requires reflection, accountability, and an understanding of the factors that influence our choices.

Our approach emphasizes:

Personal Accountability: Taking ownership of decisions while recognizing opportunities for growth.
Self-Awareness: Understanding the thoughts, behaviors, and circumstances that contribute to risky choices.
Emotional Wellness: Recognizing how stress, emotional challenges, and environmental factors may influence substance use.
Practical Skill Development: Building healthier coping strategies and improving decision-making.
Supportive Education: Creating a respectful learning environment where participants can engage without judgment.

Our goal is to help participants leave the program with greater awareness, useful skills, and a stronger foundation for making responsible choices.
