DUI Treatment
Program
Services
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 1

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
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
The DUI Treatment Services Today
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.
The DUI Treatment Services Today
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.
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
