Despite dramatic reductions in motor vehicle fatalities nationwide over the last two decades, impaired driving still accounts for more than 30 percent of lives lost on the road. Offender intervention programs provide an important opportunity to change high-risk drinking and driving behavior among the 1.46 million drivers arrested annually in the United States for DUI/DWI.
Since studies estimate that most impaired drivers take 300 to 2,000 impaired driving trips before being arrested, it is clear that a reduction in recidivism requires a significant change in behavior – whether that be driving behavior, substance use or both. To this end, The Change Companies® provides a unique focus and expertise on how to motivate and guide people toward positive and lasting behavior change.
The Change Companies® has been a long-time partner to states and local providers in the creation of research-based programs that promote change among this high-risk population. Utilizing prevailing change research, Interactive Journaling® and best practices from industry leaders across the country, The Change Companies®â€™ impaired driving programs have been proven effective in improving offenders’ knowledge and attitudes, increasing personal responsibility and commitment to change and decreasing recidivism.
