The cost of an assessment is $116.00 and that begins the process.
Thanks, Linda Hamilton.
DWI assessments and DWLR (driving while license revoked/suspended) evaluations are $100 each for North Carolina residents. There is a $16 fee to obtain your driving record.
These costs may vary based on individual circumstances. If you've already had an assessment from another provider or state but wish to complete your treatment with us, there is a $50 orientation fee.
The total cost of group treatment will depend on the number of hours recommended by your clinician.
In Asheville, NC, Beyond Addiction is at 70 Woodfin Place, Suite 110, and offers expert DWI and substance abuse treatment, with a strong emphasis on mental health. Their specialized DUI/DWI programs are led by a team of Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors: Linda Hamilton, Cynthia Berdeski, Linda Hicks, and Tamera Trexler.
My Clinical Methods
My work is built on original, trauma-informed frameworks that help people move out of shame and survival patterns into clarity and meaningful action.
Our Mission
At Beyond Addiction we realize that a DWI is not the end of your story — it can be the start of a new one. We help you regain your license while guiding you to rediscover the present moment, to develop self-compassion, and lasting well-being.
Our Evidence-Based Approach: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
At Beyond Addiction, all DWI assessments and groups are grounded in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based method that helps clients stay present, reduce reactivity, and build healthier decision-making patterns.
ACT Helps You:
- Stay grounded in the present moment instead of reacting from stress or overwhelm.
- Unhook from fused thoughts — beliefs that feel true but lead to risky decisions.
- Take mindful, values-based actions that improve your life immediately.
The ERA Shift
We integrate the ERA Shift developed by our facilitators:
- Epiphany – clarity arrives
- Realization – your system reorganizes
- Actualization – you take aligned action today
ACT and ERA together help clients move from shame and fear into choice, awareness, and personal agency. These methods are used in every DWI assessment and all group sessions facilitated by Linda Hamilton, CADC and Cynthia Berdeski, CADC.
