IDCMP
New Hampshire's Impaired Driver Care Management Program. The NH process includes the required 20-hour education component, and individual requirements are reviewed during intake.
Finding the right words for the right process
DWI and DUI Programs: IDCMP, DIP, DUIL and IDRP
The name you search may depend on where you are
People may search for a DWI or DUI program, impaired driver program, DIP, DUIL, IDRP, or an 18-month DUI program depending on their state, court, DMV, or referral. These terms do not all mean exactly the same thing. Requirements and program names vary, so the wording on your paperwork is the best place to start.
Chrysalis can help you understand what your referral or order is asking for and identify the next step in the process. We provide structured compliance support inside a counseling practice, with evaluation, case management, counseling, and aftercare available as appropriate to your requirements.
Start with your paperwork
Which program name applies to you?
Use the description that best matches the language in your court, DMV, or referral paperwork. If you are unsure, bring the document so the team can review what is actually required.
DIP
A term some people use for a driver intervention or impaired-driver program. Follow the wording on your court, DMV, or referral paperwork.
DUIL / IDRP
Terms that may be used in other states or by other agencies for impaired-driver or responsibility programs. Requirements vary, so confirm the exact program named in your paperwork.
“18-month DUI program”
A search phrase that can refer to a longer monitoring, education, or treatment requirement. Bring the referral or order so the team can clarify what is required; program names and timelines are not interchangeable.
Interlock device
An ignition interlock may be a separate court or DMV requirement. It is not the same as counseling or the IDCMP class. Chrysalis does not provide installation or legal advice.
DDP class
DDP is another acronym used for a drinking-driver or driver-education program in some states and agencies. Requirements and content vary, so follow the exact program named on your court, DMV, or referral paperwork rather than assuming it matches New Hampshire's.
IDP classes
IDP may be used for an impaired-driver or impaired-driving program, and, like DDP, the name varies by state and agency. Confirm the exact program your court, DMV, or referral names.
MID program
MID is another acronym that appears in this space, and its meaning depends entirely on which state or agency is using it. Bring the referral or order so the team can clarify what is required.
Defensive driving course NH
A defensive driving course is not the same thing as IDCMP. It is typically a general road-safety course, sometimes taken for insurance or licence reasons, and completing one does not satisfy an impaired-driver or IDCMP requirement.

Out-of-state requirements
Completing IDCMP from another state
Many clients live outside New Hampshire, were arrested in New Hampshire, or are moving. The requirement belongs to whatever state, court, or agency is supervising the case. We have completed clients in nearly every state in the US. Every state is slightly different, and we work through each client's specific requirements with them.
Massachusetts — 24D and 24Q
Massachusetts clients arrested in Massachusetts are generally required to complete a program referred to as 24D or 24Q, depending on the offense. We accept those clients and have them sign a release of information at intake.
We send monthly reports and communicate directly with the client's assigned probation officer. Massachusetts accepts the program on that basis — the client does not have to enroll in a Massachusetts state program. Massachusetts does not use the out-of-state program review process described below.
Vermont and Maine — IDRP and DEEP
In Vermont the program is called IDRP; in Maine it is the DEEP program. These states ask for the out-of-state program to be reviewed and approved — in New Hampshire that review process is called an Out of State (OOS) Program Review.
The other state enrolls the client for a small enrollment fee and sends us a release of information. We send that state the client's records, and the other state then completes the client in their own state. The client does not repeat the program.
Other states — Florida, Colorado and beyond
In states such as Florida and Colorado, the client signs a release of information at intake, the state allows them to complete from their home state, and we simply follow that state's minimum requirements.
For example, Colorado requires 52 weeks of counseling, and we build that requirement into the client's service plan. Not every state works this way, so we confirm the process for each client.
What we handle for you
Once a release of information is signed, we work hand in hand with the other state and share paperwork, so the client does not have to repeat or pay twice for services already completed.
We complete the reporting that state requires, where reporting is required. Every state is slightly different, and we confirm the client's specific requirements with them.

The Chrysalis approach
A structured program without shame
The state or court may set the requirements you need to complete. Chrysalis provides respectful guidance, a clear walkthrough of the process, and practical support as you work through those requirements.
Accountability without shame means being direct about what is expected while treating you as a whole person. Counseling and support can continue beyond the minimum requirement, based on your needs and the plan created during your care.
