Missouri SATOP Services
 If you're convicted of a DWI in Missouri, you will most likely be referred to the Substance Abuse Traffic Offender Program (SATOP).
According to the Missouri Department of Mental Health, SATOP serves more than 30,000 DWI offenders annually who are referred as a result of an administrative suspension or revocation of their driver licenses, court order, condition of probation, or plea bargain. SATOP is, by law, a required element in driver license reinstatement by the Missouri Department of Revenue.
Auto Insurance Discounters can help those referred to the SATOP program get started, through our partner, Midwest ADP.
SATOP Enrollment Steps
The enrollment process begins with a screening to determine an appropriate level of programming. Midwest ADP offers all levels of SATOP programming: OEP, WIP, CIP, and SROP. Here's some more information on each of these programs:
