Program Limitations

Completion of the DVIP is no guarantee of change in the participant's behavior. The program seeks to offer education and insight to encourage change, but the actual change is at the discretion of each participant and remains beyond the ability of this program to control.

 

Program Fees

Fees for the DVIP include $50 for the initial screening interview and $30 for each of the sixteen sessions. A one-time fee of $20 is also due at the first session to purchase the handbook which will be used throughout the program.
