The DUIP provides services to approximately 3500-4000 first and multiple conviction offenders per year. Participants are referred by the Courts or the Department of Motor Vehicles in California and in some instances, from other states. The primary mission of the DUIP is to help reduce the incidence and prevalence of driving under the influence and the negative consequences of this behavior for our community and its residents, and to assist participants in identifying and seeking solutions to their own alcohol and other drug problems.
