Understanding DUI Services in Colorado

If you’ve been ordered to complete DUI education or therapy in Colorado, it can be difficult to know which program applies to your case and how to get started without making a mistake.

Colorado uses different DUI programs based on factors such as the type of offense, prior history, and court or DMV requirements. Choosing the correct, state-approved program is essential to staying compliant and avoiding delays.

5280 Human Care Center provides court-approved DUI education and therapy services designed to meet Colorado state requirements and support individuals completing DUI obligations clearly and correctly. This page explains the DUI services available and helps you identify which option may apply to your situation.


Colorado DUI requirements generally fall into specific program categories. Below is an overview of the DUI services available through our center.

Each service page provides detailed information about who the program is for, what it includes, and how it works.

  • DUI Level 1 Education

    12-Hour Court-Approved DUI Classes

    Level 1 DUI education is a state-mandated 12-hour educational program typically required for certain first-time or lower-risk DUI or DWAI offenses.

    This program focuses on alcohol and driving awareness, decision-making, and understanding the risks associated with impaired driving. Level 1 is educational only and does not include therapy.

  • DUI Level 2 Education & Therapy

    Court-Ordered Education and Therapy Programs

    Level 2 DUI programs are more intensive and include both education and therapy components. They are commonly required for higher-risk or repeat DUI offenses.

    Level 2 requirements vary based on assigned tracks (A, B, C, or D) and may involve different numbers of education and therapy hours.

  • Online DUI Classes

    Court-Approved Online Participation Options

    In some cases, Colorado allows DUI education to be completed online, provided state guidelines and court or probation conditions are met.

    Online DUI options are not available in every case and may apply only to certain program components. Eligibility depends on your requirements and approval from the appropriate authority.

  • Court-Approved DUI Classes

    State-Licensed & Accepted Programs

    All DUI services offered by 5280 Human Care Center meet Colorado state licensing requirements and are commonly accepted by courts, probation departments, and the DMV.

    This page explains what “court-approved” means in Colorado and how to confirm that a program meets your compliance requirements.

  • 12-Hour Online DUI Classes

    Online Option for Eligible Level 1 Requirements

    Some individuals who are required to complete a 12-hour DUI education program may qualify for approved online participation.

    Eligibility depends on Colorado guidelines and individual case requirements.

  • Your court order or sentencing paperwork
  • Probation intake or assessment
  • DMV requirements related to your case
  • Do I need Level 1 or Level 2?
  • Am I allowed to take classes online?
  • Which program satisfies my court order?

If your paperwork is unclear, it’s important to confirm your requirements before enrolling.

Our team can help you review your documents and identify the correct DUI service for your situation.


While DUI programs in Colorado must meet statewide standards, acceptance and oversight are handled at the county level.
That’s why it’s important to confirm that your chosen program is accepted in the county where your case is being handled.
