The Crossroads Recovery Services Driver Intervention Program will not only assist you
in fulfilling your court ordered obligations, but also will help you to realize how alcohol
and drugs affect your life while focusing on driving while impaired.

You are responsible for reading the rules and regulations of this program as stated herein. These rules are established by the guidelines of the State of Ohio Driver Intervention program regulations. Crossroads Recovery Services Driver Intervention Program is a State Certified Program. Our Certification # is 25056.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at (614-445-0352). We would rather answer your questions ahead of time than have problems at the point of admission. If in doubt, please call! We look forward to seeing you at the Days Inn or Ramada.

  • The program begins at 6:00 P.M. If you are not present by 6:15 PM you will not be admitted. Since this space has been allocated to you, there will be no refund of your money. Exceptions to this rule will be on an individual basis and you will be expected to provide proof of your excuse. Heavy traffic or getting lost is not considered an appropriate excuse since it is your responsibility to be there. Therefore, we encourage all participants to plan on arriving early. MAKE SURE YOU ARE GOING TO THE CORRECT LOCATION: Days Inn, 1849 Stringtown Rd. Grove City, OH or Ramada, 6767 Schrock Hill Ct., Columbus, OH 43229
