Alcohol Classes Come in All Shapes and Sizes

Often when clients contact me looking for an alcohol awareness class, they aren’t sure the length of class they should take. Our alcohol classes, for example, come in 8 hour, 16 hour and 24 hour lengths. They are also called our Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 classes.

Which is the best for you?

If you are a client who is coming because of a mandated hour or session alcohol awareness class requirement… let’s say from your work or from a a court then you should find out from them what the requirement is. That makes your option very simple.

But if you are taking an alcohol awareness class that has no specified hour or session requirement or taking the class for a personal reason, then with luck I can help you find the right alcohol class length.

8 Hour Class - The Starting Point

At a minimum you should look at a course which is 8 hours in length This is the shortest class that will really give you a good comprehension of the issues around alcohol and it’s impact on you, your friends and relatives and your community as a whole. A course like this can really cover all the important subjects including:

• Problems and patterns of alcohol abuse
• Learning about how alcohol works
• Understanding how specific drugs work
• Legal vs. illegal drugs
• Impact of DUI on you and your community 
• Ideas for how to end dependency
• And many others

Once you begin your study of alcohol awareness, you’ll learn there’s a lot more to it than just learning about the basics of Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). So an eight hour class will give you a pretty good look of all the topics. On the other hand it’s mainly a survey of these subjects and won’t give you the full in-depth look that the longer courses will.

16 Hour Class – Getting Deeper

With the Sixteen hour alcohol class you really jump up in the depth of the subject matter. There are not more topics, but a more in depth study at each topic. Plus there are a lot more examples and vignettes. You might find this class to be easier because the examples and stories make the study a bit more restful. as an alternative of having to learn subject after subject in the 8 hour format, you can see lots of different examples of each subject matter. For example in our sixteen hour course, we have more personal interviews with the victims of DWIs so you can really learn more about the personal impact driving under the influence has on the community.

24 Hour Class

The 24 hour alcohol awareness class goes even deeper than the 16 hour class. Like the 16 hour class in comparison to the 8 hour alcohol class there are more examples, more photos and more in-depth understanding of the topics Taking this Level 3 alcohol class means you will really come away with a thorough understanding of the subject matter. Sure it’s a greater commitment, but of you’ve had a serious problem with drinking or maybe are a repeat offender, then this is the best course for you.
