Every year, hundreds of thousands of individuals are arrested for driving under the influence and in 2021 these impaired drivers were responsible for 13,284 fatalities. Community justice and treatment professionals can face unique challenges in assessing risk levels for these offenders while determining the most appropriate level and type of supervision, technology and treatment needs to minimize the risk of a re-offense and a new victim. This interactive training will provide an overview and continuum of the most recent evidence-based practices for addressing the issues of high-risk impaired drivers from arrest to discharge. This includes the latest research on assessment tools, characteristics of high-risk impaired drivers, polysubstance use, community supervision strategies, available technologies, the use of Problem-Solving Courts, as well as treatment programming to help criminal justice and treatment professionals maximize their effectiveness while reducing risk to the community.
