(1) Purpose and Mission. The Substance
Awareness Traffic Offender Programs (SATOP) is a statewide system of
comprehensive, accessible, community-based education and treatment programs for
individuals referred as the result of an alcohol- or drug-related traffic
offense. The department develops the standards by which SATOPs operate in
Missouri and certifies programs to provide services in accordance with those
standards.
(A) The mission of SATOP is to-
1. Inform and educate individuals about the
dangers and consequences of alcohol- and drug-impaired driving;
2. Educate youth about the risks and
consequences of alcohol and drug use and help them develop skills to make
healthy choices;
3. Motivate
individuals for personal change and growth; and
4. Contribute to the public health and safety
of Missouri by preventing and reducing the prevalence of alcohol- and
drug-impaired driving.
(B) Completion of a SATOP is a prerequisite
for driver's license reinstatement for individuals who-
1. Have pleaded guilty or have been found
guilty of an alcohol- or drug-impaired driving offense;
2. Have been referred as a result of an
administrative suspension or revocation of their driver's license, court order,
condition of probation, or plea bargain; or
3. Have been charged with minor in possession
and zero tolerance offenses.
(2) Program Functions. SATOPs shall provide
or arrange for screening, clinical assessment when indicated, education, and
treatment services for individuals referred to the program.
