Amethyst Foundation, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization that has offered professional substance abuse education, intervention and evaluation to individuals, courts, probation officers and other organizations since 1981. The administrative offices and residential facility are located in Epping, New Hampshire, which is readily accessible to residents of New Hampshire and other New England states.
Amethyst Foundation provides class sessions, substance evaluations and service plan development. Its WIDEP (Weekend Program) is certified by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services and is accepted by almost all other states as an approved alternative for DWI/DUI education/intervention.
Effective January 6, 2024, New Hampshire has dramatically changed the process for DWI/DUI offenses. This only applies to:
- New Hampshire DWI convictions
- Convictions from other states that are recorded on an individual’s New Hampshire record as a DWI/DUI.
Out-of-State Convictions: If your conviction occurred in another state, most of this process does not apply to you. You would only have the same three components as before:
- Intake
- Educational sessions (now called IDEP rather than IDIP)
- Summary Report/Evaluation (sent to you following attendance)
Please carefully review the changes on this website. The current applicable New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rule is He-A 500.
