Brandywine Counseling & Community Services (BCCS) is proud to be a statewide provider of the DUI Screening and Referral Program (DSARP) – formerly the DUI Evaluation and Referral Program (DERP).
Every individual who is adjudicated in the State of Delaware for a DUI violation (or is otherwise under Delaware’s jurisdiction for a DUI offense) is screened by the DUI Screening and Referral Program at BCCS. Each court-ordered, DSARP-screened individual is then appropriately referred to either an education or treatment program.
Screenings take approximately 90 minutes to complete, and involves an interview with a trained screener. Within five (5) to ten (10) business days following the completion of your screening, DSARP participants receive a letter with a referral for placement (education or treatment).
DSARP is for individuals 18 years or older and who have been ordered for DSARP participation from either Delaware Courts or Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. DUI offenders have ten (10) days from the date of their conviction to contact DSARP for screening. Failure to contact will result in a non-compliance discharge and additional fees. Individuals who have an out-of-state DUI but reside in Delaware will need to contact the DSARP Coordinator to discuss requirements from the issuing state.

More DSARP Screening Information
The screening and referral of a DUI offender is an information gathering and analysis process. The client meets with an screener to construct a personal history, including medical, legal, social, and psychological information. The screening takes approximately 90 minutes.
BCCS utilizes the Computerized Assessment and Referral System (CARS) as its DSARP screening tool. CARS is an easy-to-use, computer-guided interview that includes comprehensive psychosocial and mental health screenings.
The information obtained from the screening, along with review of the offender’s motor vehicle record and blood alcohol test results at the time of the violation, form the basis for analysis and recommendation. DSARP then makes a referral to either education or treatment programming. Offenders must make contact with the agency within 30 days of the referral or risk being reported to court as “non-complied.” Referrals are valid for one (1) year.
Offenders with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of 0.15 or higher at the time of arrest, or with more than one alcohol or drug violation (any type) on their record are not eligible for the education program.

Out-of-State Violations
Delaware-licensed offenders who are arrested in another state must contact DSARP to schedule an appointment for a screening. After the screening is completed, BCCS requests the paperwork from the state where the arrest was made. Once the offender has completed the program satisfactorily, DSARP forwards the information to the arresting state.
Individuals who have an out-of-state DUI but reside in Delaware are responsible for contacting the DSARP Coordinator to discuss requirements from the issuing state.
Out-of-State Offenders
Offenders who are arrested in Delaware but are licensed and live out-of-state are required to meet the Delaware requirements for alcohol screening and treatment program completion. The offender must contact DSARP, and a BCCS DSARP provider makes arrangements to have an alcohol screening conducted in the offender’s home state. The offender must also satisfactorily complete an alcohol program that meets Delaware requirements.
BCCS is the current DSARP provider in Delaware. If you have questions or inquiries regarding the previous provider, please contact the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services.
