History of DUI Treatment Services
Pre-Conviction Era

Prior to 1978 there was no formal DUI treatment system in California.

DUI program services were provided by a number of courts throughout the
State.

Individuals were referred by the court to the programs on a pre-conviction
basis.

Successful completion of the program (as developed by the provider) resulted
in the dismissal of the charge by the Court.

While these program services were for the most part very successful, There
was no uniformity of services.
3
History [continued]

In 1978 the California Legislature mandated development of programs that would be designed to
reduce the high level of recidivism of individuals arrested and convicted of driving-under-theinfluence [DUI], endangering public safety by individuals consuming alcohol and drugs and driving
on California streets and highways.

The legislature passed Senate Bill 38 creating a post-conviction program and assigned the
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs responsibility for developing regulations based on state
law, i.e. §11836 – §11837 of the California Health and Safety Code, and §23161 – §23181 of the
California Vehicle Code.

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 offense, i.e. alcohol, licit
[prescription] and/or illegal drugs.
4
History [continued]

For over 25 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 2012 report from the DMV states that recidivism has
declined by 44.7% for 1st offenders and 46.4% for 2nd
offenders over the last 20 years.
5
The DUI System Today



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.
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.
6
The DUI System Today

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 to drivers license
by successfully completing their DUI treatment program.

While program services are focused on refraining from operating an
automobile [or any mode of transportation] while under-the-influence, DUI
services also provide clients with a new understanding of their individual
responsibility to themselves, their families, and their community, and a
healthy new approach to their use of alcohol and drugs.

Myth vs. Fact
Myth:
“DUI program providers are allowed to charge exorbitant fees and make
huge profits”.
Fact:
DUI program fees are approved and controlled by the
Department of Health Care Services and by law are
limited to earning a maximum 10% profit/surplus of
total DUI revenue
8
Fee Structure
DUI treatment program fees are regulated under §9878 – Chapter 3, Division 4,
Title 9, California Code of Regulations. In part these regulations state:

The licensee shall charge only the program fee and any additional fees that have been
approved by the Department pursuant to this section of regulation. The licensee shall
not increase program fees unless a request has been submitted to the county alcohol
and drug program administrator and approved by the Department.

The program shall establish and use a standardized payment schedule, approved by the
Department in accordance with this subsection, to determine each participant's
assessed program fee and schedule for payment of fees.
9
Myth vs. Fact
Myth:
“There is little or no oversight of DUI program providers and the statewide DUI
treatment system”.
Fact:
The California Department of Health Care Services licenses all DUI
treatment programs and regulates the delivery of services as
prescribed in Chapter 3, Division 4, Title 9, California Code of
Regulations, and provides analysts who conduct on-sight
compliance visits bi-annually. In addition, the County Alcohol and
Drug Administration of each county has responsibility to monitor
compliance of the DUI treatment programs within their county on a
consistent basis throughout any given year.
10
Myth vs. Fact
Myth
“DUI treatment service providers receive state and/or county funding to provide
services to clients.”
Fact
California’s DUI treatment system is one hundred percent (100%) selffunded by program fees paid by the client.
From inception of the system in 1978, the State Legislature made it
mandatory that the system would be self-funded. That remains true today
… there is no tax-payer money funding the system and its services.
The DUI 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.
11
Fee Structure

Clients pay as services are delivered.

Provisions are made in fees based on the client’s income and ability to pay.

The regulations provide for clients who are unemployed and who are on county general relief
receive a substantially reduced fee.

Program profit or surplus shall not exceed

The program fee shall be set at a level sufficient to cover the cost of program services,
including each participant's share of personnel and operating expenses incurred by the
program in providing program services.
10% of gross revenue from fees per annum.
12
Myth vs. Fact
Myth
“DUI Program Services are costly and a financial burden to the client.”
Fact
The actual cost of treatment services statewide ranges from a
low of $15.00/hour to $27.00 /hour of service, depending on the
level of program the client needs to complete, (shown below).
Program fees vary between counties, but all counties are within
fee ranges stated above.

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


Myth
Fact
DUI Programs are
Education not
Counseling
DUI Program Services
DUI Programs take a proactive stance in helping those with alcohol and/or
drug dependency problems make life-affirming changes.
DUI Programs recognize that substance use behavior exists along a
continuum, ranging from non pathological use at one end, to problematic or
substance abuse in the middle to chronic substance dependence on the other.
DUI services are designed to address this continuum of use through the
education, group and individual case management sessions.

Individual Counseling Sessions
Face to face sessions address the following questions,

including progress in group and other counseling sessions.”
2. “Evaluate the client’s need for referral to ancillary services.”
3. “Discuss and encourage client attendance in educational and counseling
sessions.”

All DUI Clients are Alcoholics

34
What we know as providers of DUI services is that our
clientele run the full spectrum regarding use/abuse of
alcohol and drugs.
Some clients do not have a substance use disorder and
others may require additional services to address
addictive behaviors.
35
DUI Providers have a
Singular Mission to Provide
DUI Services Only
36
DUI Programs are mandated by Regulations to “Evaluate
the client’s need for referral to ancillary services”
The referral to ancillary services are based upon the
clients assessed needs. i.e. an appropriate level of AOD
Treatment, medical issues, food bank, financial
assistance, etc.
37
How Clients Fit into DHCS’S
Continuum of Care
DUI Programs are:
Prevention, Assessment , Early Intervention, and Treatment
Approximately 150,000 court ordered DUI participants per year are provided
support for positive changes in life style to facilitate reduction or elimination
of alcohol/drug problems by the DUI Program Providers.
This is accomplished through the AOD education, group and individual
counseling session , the assessment of their substance use/abuse and the
evaluation of the participant’s need for referral to ancillary services.
