If you are required to wear an ankle monitor, use an ignition interlock, or provide breath samples as part of a pre-trial release, criminal sentence, or probation, myCAMprogram can help you understand the system - and protect you from avoidable mistakes. This course offers clear, science-based education about how alcohol monitoring works, what can go wrong, and how to prevent unexpected violations.
Designed by forensic and educational experts, myCAMprogram teaches you how to avoid false positives, document your results, and build a record of responsible behavior. You will learn how your body, medications, environment, and even everyday products can affect your readings - and what to do about it.
It’s not just about compliance. It’s about protecting your freedom, your reputation, and your future.

What you will learn:
- How different monitoring devices work (and how they can provide erroneous readings)
- Why false positives happen — and how to respond
- What medical conditions and medications may affect your results
- How to document, retest, and protect your evidence
- How to live with monitoring while preserving your dignity and rights
This isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about protecting you with real, science-based understanding.
Let's be clear: The vast majority of alcohol monitoring programs and devices are reliable and successful. They offer the participant the opportunity to stay productive, maintain family ties, and steer clear of custodial punishment. Overall, Continuous Alcohol Monitoring devices work, and work well. But, they are not perfect (no technology is) and more often than not, it is the program participant who creates the situation resulting in a non-compliance allegation, often through lack of understanding of the issues involved. We've seen that in dozens of court cases. We are here to change that situation.
