DUI SERVICES
HP's DUI Program serves individuals arrested or convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI). We accept referrals from the Solano County Superior Court via Probation orders, out-of-county courts via courtesy transfers, and individuals via DMV printout or copy of Arrest Record/Temporary License provided by law enforcement. return to top... COUNSELORS AND PHILOSOPHY We are unique because in addition to the provision of DUI education and counseling services, HP is also a state licensed alcohol and drug outpatient treatment program provider. We employ certified alcohol and drug counselors, including men and women who are in recovery. Our alcohol and drug treatment framework is based on the bio/psycho/social model of disease treatment developed by George Engel (1977). Engel advocated for a comprehensive, holistic and integrative perspective to health and disease that considers an individual’s biological (physical), psychological, and socio-cultural factors. His model rejected the prevailing biomedical model in the 1970s that viewed the human body as a machine; and disease, a result of the breakdown of the "machine." In essence, HP respectfully and compassionately regards each participant individually within the context of his or her unique physical make-up, emotional and behavioral outlook, and predominating social, familial, linguistic, and cultural aspects. return to top... CLIENT TRANSFERS Client transfers are handled by DUI Counselors, Program Managers & the Billing Clerk and executed with the cooperation of the receiving program. The participant is required to pay a transfer fee. HIPAA security measures regarding release of information and client transfer of information are maintained as required by law. HP is linked to the DMV web-based site, allowing authorized staff to enter enrollment and completion data directly to the DMV. Courtesy transfers to other DUI/DDP programs are available upon request. return to top...

EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS HP currently provides afternoon and evening groups and educational sessions. Participants are scheduled for a class or group. We allow flexibility in scheduling by combining Wet and Reckless, First Offenders and Multiple Offenders in the same Tracks. Scheduling is done electronically. We maintain a DUI Counselor to participant ratio of 1:35 for Education and 1:15 for Groups. When a participant changes his or her education session or group, there is a $25 fee. DUI Education Topics:
return to top... ANCILLARY SERVICES DUI participants have the potential benefit of receiving alcohol and drug treatment at the same location where the DUI program is held. Many DUI participants are engaged in other high risk behaviors. Recognizing the need to address participants' holistic health needs, we provide ancillary services onsite including:
GROUP DISCUSSION TOPICS AND SPEAKERS Guest speakers include law enforcement, HIV/AIDS educators, and individuals who have harmed or have been injured by a drunk driver. Field trips are prohibited by law. Before attending groups, participants must complete the educational requirements. Subjects typically addressed include: 1) Causes of alcohol / drug abuse and treatment options 2) Effects of alcohol / drug abuse on the family 3) Effective coping skills to address anger, fear, anxieties, loss, depression, etc. Group sessions include role playing and discussion. return to top... ALCOHOL AND DRUG TESTING Testing for alcohol or other drugs is done by use of a breathalyzer or chemical test. Drug testing is done when there is reasonable suspicion. If the participant is detected to have measurable quantities of alcohol or other mind-altering chemicals in his or her system while at the program site, the individual will be terminated from the program and will be liable for all services received prior to reinstatement into HP or other licensed DUI Program. return to top... |
