Online Behavioral Health & Substance Awareness Classes in Georgia

Take a flexible, self‑paced Behavioral Health & Substance Awareness class designed to help you understand substance‑related risks, decision‑making, and personal wellness. Multiple hour options are available (4–60 hours) so you can match a requirement or pursue personal growth. Because acceptance in Georgia is determined by the authority that assigned the class, please verify the required hours, whether an online course is allowed, and what proof of completion is needed before you enroll.If your paperwork requires a Georgia-specific program—such as the Georgia DDS DUI Risk Reduction course—or directs you to a particular program or provider, follow those instructions. CourtCure’s course is a general educational course and is not represented as a substitute for a separately required Georgia program. If the requesting authority confirms that an online general education course is acceptable, you can choose the required course length and complete the CourtCure course online at your own pace.

Georgia uses a mix of local court orders, prosecutor‑run diversion, probation conditions, and specialty court programs to address substance‑related risks and behavioral health. There is no single statewide acceptance rule for general awareness classes; approval is made by the authority that assigned the requirement. Adult felony probation and parole are supervised by the Department of Community Supervision (DCS). Special conditions can include alcohol/drug treatment or education, which means your supervising officer or judge may specify the number of hours and whether online coursework is acceptable. Always verify those details before you start an online class. ([dcs.georgia.gov](https://dcs.georgia.gov/felony-supervision/adult-felony-probation-supervision/special-conditions-supervision?utm_source=openai)) If you were directed to a DUI‑related class, Georgia’s Department of Driver Services (DDS) regulates the 20‑hour DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program (often called “DUI School” or “Risk Reduction”). DDS explicitly states that only DDS‑certified schools are approved and that classes from uncertified providers are not accepted for licensing, reinstatement, or court requirements connected to this program. Our Behavioral Health & Substance Awareness course is not the DDS Risk Reduction program; use the DDS list if your paperwork specifies that requirement. ([dds.georgia.gov](https://dds.georgia.gov/regulated-programs/dui-alcohol-or-drug-use-risk-reduction-program)) Separate from DUI school, some Georgia orders require treatment or education from a licensed program. Drug abuse treatment and education programs are licensed by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). If your paperwork mentions a “licensed program,” confirm that the provider is licensed under DCH rules, or use state directories to locate appropriate services. For clinical services, you can also search the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) provider network. ([rules.sos.state.ga.us](https://rules.sos.state.ga.us/gac/111-8-19?utm_source=openai)) Finally, if you are in an accountability court (drug, mental health, veterans), your services are guided by statewide standards and local court policies. These courts typically coordinate assessments, treatment, and education through program partners—ask your coordinator before taking any outside course.

Acceptance in Georgia is set by the requesting authority—not statewide. Before you purchase, contact the court, probation officer, attorney, diversion coordinator, employer, or school that assigned the class and confirm: the exact hours required, whether an online self‑paced course is allowed, if the provider or curriculum must meet a specific rule (for example, a DDS‑certified DUI “Risk Reduction” program or a DCH‑licensed treatment program), your deadline, and what completion document or proof of attendance they expect. If you are in an accountability court (drug, mental health, veterans), ask the program coordinator whether you must use court‑assigned services; many of these courts require participants to complete program‑specific treatment or education. Keep a copy of your assignment and any written pre‑approval. Classes taken from providers that do not meet a specified requirement (when one exists) may not be accepted in Georgia.
