History of DUI Treatment Services

In 1978 the California Legislature mandated development of programs that would be designed to: reduce the high level of recidivism of individuals arrested, convicted of driving-under-the-influence (DUI); endangering public safety by individuals consuming alcohol and drugs/and driving on California streets and highways.

For over 26 years the California Department of Motor

Vehicles (DMV) has conducted annual outcome

studies on the effectiveness of the California DUI

treatment system in reducing recidivism.

The 2014 report from the DMV states that recidivism

rates has declined by 50% for 1st and 2nd Offenders

over the last 22 years.

History of DUI Treatment Services

The legislature passed Senate Bill 38 creating a post-conviction program and assigned the Department of Alcohol & Drug Programs responsibility for developing regulations based on state law, i.e. §11836- §11838.11 of the California Health and Safety Code, and §23161-§23181 of the California Vehicle Codes.

The initial focus of the legislature was on alcohol related offenses. Over the past thirty-six (36) years, program services have evolved to focus on any type of DUI offenses, i.e. alcohol, prescription, and/or illegal drugs.

DUI Programs Effectiveness

In contrast to the past 8 years, the results show that assignment to a DUI

program is statistically significantly associated with the 1 year subsequent

crash rates of alcohol-or drug reckless offenders arrested in 2011.

The offenders assigned to a DUI program show a 17.2% lower crash rate

than those not assigned to the program. Their crash rate (3.28 per 100

drivers) is slightly lower this year when compared to last year’s evaluation

(3.47 per 100 drivers).

The DUI Treatment Services Today

The DUI programs are licensed by the Department of Health Care

Services to provide a less intensive level of outpatient alcohol and

other drug treatment services focused on improving public health and

safety by reducing and/or eliminating additional DUI offenses.

These services consist of education classes (prevention); individual

and group counseling sessions (intervention); and in some counties

individual client involvement in self-help programs to facilitate

ongoing recovery from the abuse of alcohol and drugs.

12


Consistent with state regulations DUI treatment is provided by alcohol

and other drug counselors certified under Chapter 8, Division 4, Title 9,

California Code of Regulations.

DUI treatment programs collaborate with the Courts and the

Department of Motor Vehicles to ensure compliance with their

summary or formal probation requirements and prepare clients to

regain their driver’s license by successfully completing their DUI

treatment program.

13


DUI program fees are approved and controlled by the Department of

Health Care Services and DUI Programs are by law, limited to

earning a maximum 10% profit/surplus of total DUI revenue.

California’s DUI treatment system is one hundred percent (100%)

self-funded by program fees paid by the client

The DUI treatment programs collect participant fees for providing

program services plus fees to reimburse the State and County for

their monitoring and compliance auditing services as required by state

law.

14

DUI Program Services

The DUI programs primary goal is to assist participants to

explore their relationships with alcohol/drugs and the

inherent risks involved

The desired result is modified drinking and/or drug use in

high-risk situations such as driving

DUI programs provide counseling and education to assist in

reducing the recidivism rate of DUI offenders
