Alcohol or Drug Programs In California
The county board of supervisors, in concert with the county alcohol and
drug program administrators determines the need for DUI program
services and recommends applicants to the State for licensure. The
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) licenses programs,
establishes regulations, approves participant fees and fee schedules,
and provides DUI information.
Wet Reckless Programs
A person convicted of reckless driving with a measurable amount of
alcohol in their blood must complete a twelve-hour DUI education
program.
First Offender Programs
A person convicted of a first DUI offense must complete a state-licensed
three-month, 30-hour alcohol and drug education and counseling
program. A person convicted of a first DUI offense with a blood alcohol
content of 0.20 or higher must complete a state-licensed nine-month,
60-hour alcohol and drug education and counseling program. These
programs are designed to enable participants to consider attitudes and
behavior, support positive lifestyle changes, and reduce or eliminate the
use of alcohol and/or drugs.
18-Month Programs
Second and subsequent DUI offenders must complete an 18-month
multiple offender program. Program requirements are: 52 hours of
group counseling; 12 hours of alcohol and drug education; 6 hours of
community reentry monitoring; and biweekly individual interviews during
the first 12 months of the program.
30-Month Programs
A county may elect to provide 30-month DUI programs for third and
subsequent DUI offenders. Los Angeles and Stanislaus Counties have
these services available. Program requirements are: 78 hours of group
counseling; 12 hours of alcohol and drug education; 120-300 hours of
community service; and close and regular individual interviews.
