About Alcohol Drug Class

Ari Novick, PhD. The AlcoholDrugClass.com class was designed for individuals who need to take an alcohol and drug awareness education or minor in possession class for a court order, probation requirement, other legal reasons, or simply for personal growth. Our program was designed by drug and alcohol experts with the guidance of Dr. Ari Novick, a licensed psychotherapist. These are educational classes only and should not be taken as a substitute for medical or psychological counseling or advice or as a replacement for in/out patient treatment.

We offer 4 programs. We offer 2 different alcohol and drug awareness education courses: A Level One (8 hour) class and a Level two (16 Hour) class. We also offer two minor in possession classes, an 8 hour program and 16 hour program.
