Title: Cognitive Therapy Treatment Program for Repeat DUI Offenders
Journal: Journal of Criminal Justice  Volume:36  Issue:6  Dated:November/December 2008  Pages:539-545
Author(s): Kathleen A. Moore; Melissa Harrison; M. Scott Young; Ezra Ochshorn
Date Published: November 2008
Annotation: This article describes a cognitive treatment program aimed at repeat drinking and driving offenders.
Abstract: Tampa Crossroads Inc. developed a treatment program entitled TRIAD aimed at decreasing driving under the influence (DUI) recidivism. Research indicates that the TRIAD treatment program for multiple DUI offenders was a valuable tool in the battle to reduce criminal recidivism and alcohol and/or drug use; other jurisdictions should consider applying similar strategies in response to this ongoing problem of alcohol-related public safety issues. For treatment outcomes, the overwhelming majority of participants (86 percent) did not have a positive urinalysis during the treatment program. Of those testing positive, marijuana or alcohol was most often the drug used. For criminal justice outcomes, the data reflects the treatment effectiveness of the TRIAD program; even though the majority of participants had committed serious crimes prior to admission, only 15 percent were rearrested during treatment and 35 percent rearrested after treatment, and only two DUI-related arrests occurred during the course of treatment. Data were collected from 63 participants ranging in age from 20 to 61, who resided in Hillsborough County, FL, who had been convicted of 2 or more DUIs, who were recommended by the State Attorney, and who were sentenced by the court to treatment.
