The DUI Prevention Program is a court-referred community service program that is designed to discourage recidivism by convicted DUI offenders. The DUI Prevention Program requires participants to spend four hours in a classroom setting where they receive a comprehensive overview of the physical, emotional, and social ramifications of driving under the influence. More than 5,300 people have successfully completed the program over the past four years.

The DUI Prevention Program is divided into four sections, which include 1) a general introduction to the program; 2) values and decision-making; 3) consequences of poor decision-making; and 4) creating strategies to prevent driving under the influence. Participants are exposed to instructional videos that depict the carnage and wreckage caused by drunk drivers, offer testimonials from victims and perpetrators, and show trauma footage from the emergency room. These sessions are facilitated by a qualified program coordinator.

There are also a number of guest speakers -- including paramedics, EMTs, nurses, physicians, substance-abuse counselors, victims/survivors of drunk driving, former substance abusers, law enforcement officials, and others – who offer insights into their experiences with people who drive under the influence. The DUI Prevention Program is facilitated by professional staff, with six years of health education/counseling experience.
