About the Program The Intoxicated Driver Program, or IDP, is a statutory program (HFS 62) focused on assisting individuals charged with a DUI or an OWI to retrieve their driver’s license. An IDP assessment is geared to identify whether the recipient of an OWI has made a bad decision, or whether there is a potential chemical dependency issue. Based on the findings of the assessment, an individual is ordered either to alcohol/drug education or for further assessment and treatment. After you have been charged with an DUI or OWI, the court will issue an “Order for Assessment” (MV 3632). You may have an IDP assessment prior to being convicted. How To Make an Appointment All appointments for assessments must be made in person, on the 4th floor of the Gov- ernment Building at the Department of Health and Human Services. The fee for the IDP Assessment is $275.00; Cash or Money Order only. At least $125.00 of the assessment fee must be paid to make the appointment.
