State law requires that any motorist charged with an alcohol-related traffic offense must be detained at an IDRC. Each of New Jersey’s 21 counties has an IDRC. First and third-time offenders will be detained at a count IDRC. Second-time offenders will be detained at one of three regional IDRC's.

During detention, all offenders attend an alcohol and highway safety education program. Each offender is evaluated to determine if alcohol or drug treatment is necessary. Those deemed to need treatment are referred to an appropriate provider for an at least 16-week treatment program.

Satisfactory participation in a state-assigned program is a condition for re-licensing. Failure to comply will result in further loss of driving privileges and the possibility of imprisonment.
