1 DUI Treatment Program Services 1

2 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. 2 The 2014 report from the DMV states that recidivism rates has declined by 50% for 1 st and 2 nd Offenders over the last 22 years.

3 History of DUI Treatment Services 3 The legislature passed Senate Bill 38 creating a postconviction program and assigned the Department of Alcohol & Drug Programs responsibility for developing regulations based on state law, i.e of the California Health and Safety Code, and 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.

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).

5 5 Subsequent DUI Convictions At the end of 18 years, 43% of 3 rd or more offenders have reoffended, compared to 35% of 2 nd Offenders and 29% of first offenders

12 The DUI Treatment Services Today 12 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.

13 The DUI Treatment Services Today 13 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.

14 The DUI Treatment Services Today 14 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.
