SATOP

Missouri Substance Abuse Traffic Offenders Program (SATOP)

The Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health, certifies agencies to provide services to individuals who have had an alcohol- or drug-related traffic offense. SATOP serves more than 30,000 DWI offenders annually who are referred as a result of an administrative suspension or revocation of their driver licenses, court order, condition of probation, or plea bargain. SATOP is, by law, a required element in driver license reinstatement by the Department of Revenue.

Step 1: Offender Management Unit (OMU)

All SATOP consumers enter the system via an OMU. Consumers receive an assessment screening where a review of their driver record, breath alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of their arrest, computer-interpreted assessment, and an interview with a SATOP Qualified Professional is conducted. Based upon the information gathered during the assessment screening, a referral is made to one of several types of SATOP service levels.

The OMU assessment is available at Phoenix Programs, Inc. The fee for this assessment is $375 ($249 State Supplemental Fee plus $126 Screening Fee). Contact us today at (573) 875-8880 to set up an appointment for an OMU assessment to enter the SATOP system.
