The UT Health Science Center of San Antonio is building a treatment program for adults who have had a DWI arrest. To select the best treatment possible, they need your help. Clinic staff would like to meet with people who have had a DWI arrest to ask questions about health and different behaviors. The information that you share will help the Clinic better understand the treatment needs of people with a DWI arrest. The information that you share will be kept private. The meeting will take about 2 ½ hours and volunteers will be financially compensated for their time spent completing the survey. If you are interested or would like more information please call Jordan Ghez at (210) 567-‐ 2712.
