Florida Court-Ordered Drug & Alcohol Awareness Requirements
Florida courts order drug & alcohol awareness under various statutes including Florida Statute §784.03 (Battery), §784.011 (Assault), and §784.048 (Stalking). drug & alcohol awareness is also commonly ordered as part of pretrial intervention programs, which allow defendants to avoid a criminal conviction by completing specified requirements.
Under Florida law, circuit and county court judges have discretion to order drug & alcohol awareness as a special condition of probation under §948.03. Florida does not mandate a specific number of hours statewide — the duration is set by the individual judge or the terms of the plea agreement. Common durations in Florida range from 8 to 26 hours.
For domestic violence cases in Florida, the court may order a Batterer's Intervention Program (BIP) under §741.281 rather than general drug & alcohol awareness. BIPs in Florida are 26-29 weeks and must be provided by a state-certified BIP provider. If your court order specifies a BIP, our general drug & alcohol awareness course does not satisfy that requirement. If your order specifies drug & alcohol awareness, our course qualifies.
