A 4 hour Online MIP Alcohol Education Class
Our online alcohol/MIP class avoids judgments, put downs and threats of consequences. Our goal is to provide honest and accurate information regarding alcohol consumption without bias. This program was designed by Masters level counselors and a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor practiioner who have worked with this population for over 30 years. Please be advised, Rethink-a-Drink™ is not intended to be a treatment or intervention program. Rethink-a-Drink™ is an education and alcohol awareness program.
About Us
Our Alcohol Education Class (Rethink-a-Drink™) is a program offered through the Offender Solutions® series of online classes (www.offendersolutions.com). Offender Solutions® was founded through the combined 44 years of experience of a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, (CADC), parole officer, a juvenile probation officer, two college instructors and a justice system policy analyst. Each of these roles contributed greatly to the style, delivery and content of our online alcohol awareness class and are all Master's level or higher practitioners.
We don't make ridiculous claims like a 95% success rate but we do know that we use the best practices. We address the criminogenic risk factor - attitudes, values and beliefs. Offender Solutions® addresses victim issues, accountability, values and personal responsibility. Our approach is the most effective intervention - cognitive restructuring.
We are proud of our work and expect you will be pleased with our offender solution.

The Offender Solutions® Inc. Rethink-a-Drink™ Class
Offender Solutions® Inc. provides Rethink-a-Drink™ as a 4hour alcohol awareness class. The Rethink-a-Drink™ curriculum is based on the work of Allison Butterfield, CADC. Our alcohol awareness class teaches the "levels of use" and lets the student conduct a brief level of use screening. The class teaches about the hazards of consuming alcohol any one time and the hazards of long term use and abuse. Included is a screening to help give the student a feel of how "at risk' they might presently be of developing an alcohol abuse problem. The class promotes personal responsibility and reveals the impact alcohol use has on those around us. No alcohol awareness class would be complete if it did not include refusal strategy and techniques. The Offender Solutions® Rethink-a-Drink™ class uses a cognitive restructuring approach which basically follows the tenant of Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993): "Change your thoughts and you will change your world." Our alcohol awareness class asks the students to explore their attitudes, values and beliefs. Rethink-a-Drink™ ends asking the client to figure out what they believe, who they are and to identify their value system.
Simply stated the Rethink-a-Drink™ class is designed to help young people learn a healthy respect for alcohol use and abuse.
Rethink-a-Drink™ referrals come from courts, juvenile departments, schools and teen/peer courts.
