Public code and process facts

Official definition
Transfer the offender to a DWI Program and release the offender to a continuum-of-care program.
In plain English
Release was APPROVED with treatment steps attached. The person must transfer to a DWI Program and then be released to a continuum-of-care program.
What happens next
1. Approval is recorded. 2. Transfer to a DWI Program occurs; timing varies. 3. Program participation continues for a duration that varies. 4. Release to a continuum-of-care program occurs; timing varies.
What you can do now
  • Ask the person to share official DWI Program placement updates.
  • Learn the practical requirements of the continuum-of-care placement when provided.
  • Keep contact and release-address information current.
  • Plan family support around continued treatment after release.
Families often get this wrong
FI-6 is not an immediate release home; it requires a DWI Program transfer and a continuum-of-care release plan.
