Our comment from DrivingSchools.Directory about Partners4Wellness:
Partners4Wellness is a DUI program provider that offers group sessions primarily through Zoom, making it accessible for those with busy schedules. Many clients appreciate the engaging and supportive staff, particularly praising individuals like Paulina and Mau, who have been highlighted for their professionalism and helpful nature. The program has helped several participants gain valuable coping skills and has been described positively as a supportive environment for individuals dealing with addiction issues.
However, there have been concerns regarding inconsistencies in management and scheduling. Some users have reported sudden changes in hours of operation and an inflexible attendance policy that can cause additional stress. The limited options for makeup sessions and the perceived focus on financial penalties over client wellbeing have also been noted as challenging aspects.
Despite these mixed reviews, many clients still recommend Partners4Wellness, suggesting that while there are some operational issues, the dedication of certain staff members and the overall program's structure can be effective for those seeking to complete their DUI obligations.
Partners4Wellness: Reviews
Negative experience: worst place to do your DUI program they kicked me out for conflict of interest that had nothing to do with my participation I would recommend ABC traffic school or any other
Negative experience: At first this program seemed like the perfect fit for me. The group sessions being on zoom appeared to be such a convenient and accessible option for me as I work 60 hour weeks and have a very tight and inconsistent work schedule. I have now been enrolled for 8 months and found a comfortable schedule in the program to lead me to successful completion. This was a difficult sweet spot to find since I usually go into work at 12pm and all group sessions, except for one, take place in the evenings. I signed up for the earliest Saturday morning group(the only morning group they offer)and have my face to face sessions on Wednesday mornings. This worked for me because my work schedule is released on Fridays(work week starts Saturday) and if my schedule happens to change it would give me plenty of time to contact P4W and reschedule with notice so as to not accrue an absence. However, management decided to limit their hours of operation in the office from one day to the next (without 24-48 hour notice). This is not ok, given their very strict attendance policy and the required 24 hour notice before calling to reschedule. They are now closed Fridays, which means if I can’t make it to my group session due to a scheduling conflict I would have to acquire an absence. We only get 10 of those from beginning to end of the program, so I’m walking a really fine line here. By the way, they also changed their policy regarding attendance from one day to the next. Or maybe it’s subjective and dependent on which staff member you speak to? I used to be able to reschedule and pick up a group the same day if necessary. Now you have to sign up for a make up group that only happens once every 7 weeks. I find it unethical and morally irresponsible, nay hypocritical to mandate strict adherence to program policies when management is so inconsistent with hours, services, and requirements. I pay a lot of money, in fact too much money, to participate in this program for them to create the very barriers to completion that they ask me about at my face to face sessions every other week. “Do you have any barriers?” Yes! Your inconsistent hours and policies! Don’t even get me started on the revolving door of in and out staff which creates an uneasiness in group and allows for unreliable filing of self help documents and more. Oh yes! And the fact that they only offer a single make up group every 7 weeks, forcing some of us to fall behind on planned dates of completion and potentially violating probation. I mean, if you do the math, one make up group every 7th saturday, means it can take up to three months to make up two missed groups. A prime example of “barriers” to completion. Some of you may say, make your work respect your program scheduling. Unfortunately, I don’t have that luxury. My work is a priority. It provides the necessary income I need to survive and pay for this impossibly negligent and expensive program I am forced to participate in. Which is a blip in the grander scheme of things, my career. So to future potential clients I have but one thing to say; be careful. Things are not as they seem. Management makes more money off of your failure to complete the program than they do from your success. It’s a lot more work than it seems with the “self helps” and walking on egg shells due to scheduling conflicts. It almost feels as if management intentionally makes graduating the program on time nearly impossible. I can honestly say, that although it is allegedly this program's goal to help their clients succeed, reinstate their licenses, and regain control of their lives and problem drinking… they actually don’t truly give a damn about anything more than our hard earned cash. Two stars because it’s still better than School Ten.
Negative experience: Worst costumer service I've ever received from a place which claims it's for wellness. The only partners this business associats with is horrible service and rude representatives. Take your money else where this lady refused me and then refused to give me her name or pass me over to a supervisor.

Fantastic experience: My experience at partners for wellness has been so far wonderful the staff here is very cordial and polite,very easy to deal with and the program outline seems simple.

The staff here shows compassion for it's clients.
Fantastic experience: John help me with my first face-to-face. It was very comfortable and straight to the point in and out very helpful. He was very understanding mal help me a great deal with working this program. I couldn’t have made it without all the staff, including Pauline to get through in one piece and actually absorb the information. They always made me feel welcome. Hen had expectations and treatment as if I was family in for that I made it through the program. Thank you partners for wellness for choosing such prominent characters to help the society that needs a dressing as far as drinking and driving.
Fantastic experience: Two employees that have been extremely helpful to me are Jamie the receptionist whom always helps me out when I call. And Paulina whom I speak to during my face to face. She’s polite patient and very professional. Thankyou Jamie and Paulina, much appreciated.

Negative experience: We all know there are people who need help with addictions and so on don't come here plz look up some other place they never answer so if your trying to reschedule good luck also if u don't do it on time there will be a 25 dollar fine even if ur still at work for what ever reason they arnt in any way leanent unfortunately for me I had to miss one because we all know if u don't work u don't eat oh and I tried making it up and I was not let in to my Zoom meeting so their like oh yea here another 25 bucks and all they say it's in their contract maybe if they cleared they voice box and have some understanding that not everyone is capable of just paying thier late fees it's just felt no one here cares so there u have it some honest to God truth so glad I'm about to finish my program here but for those really seaking help go somewhere else

Fantastic experience: Great service, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I would strongly recommend this program to anyone that wants to overcome their alcohol addiction. I had helped me tremendously and provided me with useful coping skills. I learned a lot from other client's shares and testimonies as well as from the instructors. As a result of this program, I am now an active member of alcoholics anonymous and I enjoy helping the alcoholic that still suffers and therefor being of service.
Negative experience: If you are looking to get help getting better this is not the place for you ! The staff seem in it only for the paycheck and can care less if you are getting sober or not, but it you are looking for a quick DUI program for court then this is the place just don't miss any group or packets cause they charge you extra (they only care about your money not your health/situation)
Negative experience: Terrible place to be in if I could change locations I would so please if I can let me know the manager lupe was really rude and disrespectful and really not looking forward to going to my groups at all .
Fantastic experience: Great services
Fantastic experience: Super helpful staff and great service provided probably one of the best DUI schools out there
