Individuals charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influencing (DUI) often have additional legal challenges to navigate during treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) or dual diagnosis. Drug rehabilitation programs must take these factors into consideration during every stage of care. Some clients may have to meet certain legal obligations, including receiving specific documentation from their care team to prove they have started treatment. Driftwood Recovery uses evidence-based therapeutic modalities and personalized care plans to ensure DUI or DWI offenders receive the necessary resources and therapy to heal from the effects of SUD.
Specialized Rehab Support for DUI and DWI Offenders
According to Traffic Injury Prevention, “Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is one of the most frequently committed criminal offenses in the United States.” Individuals charged with DUI or DWI often have court-ordered treatment requirements. Driftwood Recovery helps clients and their families navigate the specialized rehab for DUI services necessary to meet legal requirements. We provide compassionate guidance, support, and psychoeducation to ensure clients make informed decisions about their health while adhering to court-mandated treatment. Clients with DUI or DWI may also have co-occurring conditions or underlying issues impacting emotional stability and behavior. Specialized rehab support ensures clients have the resources to address their SUD while adhering to court rulings.
Understanding the Unique Needs of DUI and DWI Offenders
DUI and DWI offenders often have to overcome various legal and health challenges during recovery. Clinicians must consider these factors while creating treatment and aftercare plans. According to the previously mentioned article by Traffic Injury Prevention, “DWI offenders represent a clinical population with high levels of complex and competing treatment needs,” requiring a multi-model and holistic approach to care. Individuals in mandated treatment for DWI or DUI often have co-occurring mental health disorders, trauma, or other factors impacting recovery. Our addiction recovery programs address substance abuse issues to ensure clients experience the best possible outcomes.
Some of the unique needs experienced by clients with DUI or DWI include:
- Legal problems
- Financial strain
- Social or internalized stigma
- Transportation issues due to a revoked or suspended license
- Increased risk of relapse
- Relationship conflict
- Behavioral problems
Addressing legal, personal, and emotional challenges while in rehab for DUI reduces the risk of relapse and prepares clients for a sober future. Driftwood Recovery uses integrative care to ensure individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other forms of substance abuse have the support and resources they need to heal and recover.
Combining Therapy, Education, and Community Support
Treatment programs for individuals with SUD and DWI or DUI combine various therapeutic modalities, psychoeducation, and community support services to create a comprehensive care plan. Clients are more likely to have a positive treatment experience and better outcomes if they take advantage of all treatment options during rehabilitation.
Psychoeducation helps clients and their loved ones understand the realities of addiction and how it may affect behaviors, including risk-taking activities like driving under the influence. Therapy and peer support provide clients with the tools to address underlying issues contributing to substance abuse while encouraging healthy lifestyle changes. Most individuals experience a significant increase in quality of life after participating in addiction treatment.
Comprehensive Addiction Treatment for Lasting Change
Our treatment programs for addiction provide lasting change by helping clients better understand their condition and how to manage symptoms or side effects of SUD. Comprehensive programs use a combination of talk therapy, prescription medication, peer support, and holistic therapies to create a treatment plan tailored to each client’s needs. Individuals are more likely to maintain positive lifestyle changes if they have a solid foundation of coping skills and support resources. The dedicated experts at Driftwood Recovery collaborate closely with clients and their families to create effective and appropriate care plans to encourage lasting recovery from substance abuse.
Evidence-Based Approaches to Prevent Relapse
Some of the evidence-based approaches and relapse prevention services used at Driftwood Recovery include:
- Individual and group therapy
- Trauma-specific treatments
- Self-help groups
- Prescription medication to manage symptoms
- Case management
- Relapse prevention
- Psychoeducation
- Community integration programs (CIPs)

Clients undergo comprehensive assessments to ensure they have the best treatment plan to address their needs and circumstances. We provide services that prepare clients and their loved ones to navigate long-term sobriety and the legal system. Clinicians fill out necessary documentation and progress reports for individuals in mandatory treatment, ensuring they remain compliant with court orders.
Personalized Substance Abuse Treatment Plans Tailored to Individual Circumstances
Tailored care plans address specific challenges and circumstances affecting clients during addiction recovery. We create personalized plans after reviewing each client’s history. Family members often play an essential role in providing a complete overview of the many factors impacting a client’s circumstances. Driftwood Recovery utilizes many screening tools and assessments to determine what services to include in treatment plans and which treatment approach will provide clients with the knowledge and tools to maintain ongoing sobriety. Tailored treatment programs also help clients understand how the legal consequences of driving under the influence or DWI will impact their future. We work closely with clients and their families to ensure they fully understand their situation and all potential treatment options.
Rebuilding Life After a DUI or DWI Conviction
A DUI or DWI conviction can cause significant upheaval in a person’s life. Rebuilding and repairing the damage caused by a DWI or DUI takes time. Individuals in treatment must be willing to make lifestyle changes to support sobriety, reducing the risk of relapse and creating a path to full recovery.
Rebuilding a life after DUI or DWI often involves doing the following:
- Completing court-mandated treatment and resolving any lingering legal matters
- Addressing all substance use and mental health issues affecting sobriety
- Rebuilding trust with friends, family, coworkers, and members of the community
- Developing healthier coping mechanisms for managing daily stressors
- Addressing financial issues or regaining financial independence
Driftwood Recovery helps clients remain motivated to make healthy changes as they move through the various stages of treatment and recovery. We integrate life skills development and relapse prevention education into treatment programs for DUI and substance abuse offenders.
Collaborative Care With the Legal and Court Systems
We offer referrals to legal counsel to ensure DUI or DWI offenders have access to essential legal guidance and information. Navigating the court system can be difficult for some individuals. We help clients make informed decisions about court-mandated treatment requirements. The clinical team collaborates with legal professionals and other resources to give clients the best support system to help them move through the recovery process and court system.
Documentation and Progress Reports for Legal Requirements
We support clients in complying with legal obligations. Our clinical team offers official treatment documentation and progress reports for clients to share with the court. Most DUI and DWI offenders must also complete mandatory addiction treatment and driving training or education. We facilitate those classes and programs to assist clients in building a healthier future. Our clinicians partner with outside professionals as necessary to ensure clients have the support they need to succeed at achieving sobriety.
