DSARP | DUI Screening and Referral Program

Brandywine Counseling & Community Services (BCCS) is proud to be a statewide provider of the DUI Screening and Referral Program (DSARP) – formerly the DUI Evaluation and Referral Program (DERP).

DSARP is for individuals 18 years or older who have been ordered for DSARP participation from either Delaware Courts or Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. Every individual who is adjudicated in the State of Delaware for a DUI violation (or is otherwise under Delaware’s jurisdiction for a DUI offense) is screened by the DUI Screening and Referral Program at BCCS. Each court-ordered, DSARP-screened participant is then appropriately referred to either an education or treatment program. Participants may also contact DSARP prior to being convicted and begin the process.

Screenings can take up to 90 minutes to complete and involve an interview with a trained screener. Within five (5) to ten (10) business days following the completion of your screening, DSARP participants will receive a letter with a referral for placement (education or treatment).

Each participant will be assigned to an approved Delaware Provider to manage their referral. 

DUI screenings do not expire, however, if any of the following occur, a new DUI screening and a fee shall be paid to DSARP:

• A new DUI conviction
• Reckless Driving Drug and/or Alcohol-related
• Probable Cause
• Zero Tolerance

If you have previously completed a DSARP screening and need to resume treatment and have not accrued any additional violations, please contact DSARP.
