Beware is SunCoast Safety Council. I enrolled for my first DUI and I have been dealing with these liars and manipulators for almost a year. Did my initial 15 hours expected to get my license afterwards. They said I needed more treatment so I enrolled and now they tell me it will take up to 3 weeks for their supervisor to approve it! No license yet. This business is dirty and disrespectful. They threatened to put a hold on me getting my license if I don't complete their program. Stay away from SunCoast Safety Council

The DUI evaluation was a joke said I needed treatment. While currently in treatment, they did not accept my private therapist as valid wanting to push me into expensive Rehabilitation or Salvation Army TREATMENT that is based on the antiquated 12 step model The evaluation was not based on DSM 5 Substance Use Disorder and talking to others EVERYBODY gets referred to "TREATMENT " The so called "Driving Classes" were a joke she quoted the "Big Book " of AA Bill W. and Dr Bob continued to use the term "Alcoholic and Alcoholic " repeatedly and false statistics that were proven as false with a quick search.
The Straw that broke the camel's back was a false statistic regarding hereditary Pre disposition on Native Americans and Irish Americans. I'm BOTH I've had to hold my breath and keep this inside me for about 9 months out of fear of retaliation.
