Bringing alcohol treatment to driving under the influence programs: Perceptions from first-time offenders.
Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are common among first-time driving under the influence (DUI) offenders. Individuals with a DUI arrest may attend a DUI alcohol education program for license reinstatement. We evaluated the acceptability of cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for AUDs adapted for DUI programs. Participants (N=35) were enrolled in one of two DUI programs in Los Angeles and were an average of 34.5 (SD=11.9) years old; 66% male; 37.1% African American, 34.2% Hispanic/Latino(a), and 20% non-Hispanic White. We analyzed data from ten focus groups and 35 self-report surveys that evaluated the nine-session CBT group protocol. Overall, participants stated that the CBT philosophy was acceptable and helpful in thinking about how to prevent future DUIs. They also found the coping skills in the sessions relevant to other life events and decisions. Participants valued the personal disclosure and interactive role-play and group exercises embedded within each session stating that these exercises helped with group cohesion and self-disclosure. Data from satisfaction surveys showed that participants reported high satisfaction ratings on the overall session, session content, and session facilitator. Future studies are needed to evaluate whether evidence-based treatment within DUI programs may increase access to evidence-base care among at-risk individuals who may not otherwise seek treatment for their AUDs.
