Upcoming Diversion Classes
Listed below are our upcoming Prime for Life and Diversion classes. While these are court-ordered programs, if you are interested in an educational course on substance use and recovery, please contact our office, we are happy to help guide you to the appropriate resources.
If a specific course, such as a 48-hour Diversion class, is not currently listed, do not hesitate to reach out. We periodically add new sessions based on requests and community need.
Please be note that the 96-hour Prime for Life course is delivered as two separate 48-hour weekend sessions, rather than a continuous 96-hour program. If you are in need of the full 96 hours, this will involve attending one of our scheduled 48-hour weekends along with an additional weekend session. To ensure proper scheduling, please contact our office so we can assist you accordingly.
Prime for Life
48 Hour Diversion Course
Prime for Life is an evidence-based program focused on prevention, intervention, and pretreatment, frequently used in court-mandated diversion programs for DUI/OWI offenses. In Iowa, individuals convicted of OWI must complete a state-approved drinking driver education course. The 48-hour version of the program serves as an approved alternative to jail, allowing individuals a convenient way to meet both sentencing and educational obligations over a single weekend.
The course fee is $600 and will be held at the Baymont by Wyndham in Pella, please reference the map for directions. Upon successful completion of the 48-hour program, a Keys to Success employee forward your completion paperwork to any individuals or agencies you've authorized—such as your attorney or the court. Please note, if you do not complete the course or fail to arrive on time, the fee is non-refundable.
For questions regarding pricing, registration and expectations for the weekend, please contact Deb Kay-Ostrander at 641-780-1087 or diversion@keystosuccesspella.com.
