DUI Programs

Don't Drink and Drive in Contra Costa County


The Contra Costa County Driving under the Influence (DUI) Programs can assist individuals in completing court-ordered and DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) requirements. The objective of the DUI program is to reduce the number of repeat DUI offenses by persons who complete state-licensed DUI programs. The DUI Programs will:

  • Provide participants an opportunity to address problems related to the use of alcohol and/or other drugs;
  • Provide education, group counseling and face-to-face interviews to enable participants to consider attitudes and behavior related to reducing or eliminating the use of alcohol and/or drugs;
  • Provide referrals for ancillary services when needed to support a positive lifestyle.

Classes are not treatment, it is education.
If you feel you need treatment call access line you may be covered under Medical.

The State Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) does not license any internet DUI programs. DUI classes offered via the internet DO NOT meet California's DUI Program requirements. Please contact DHCS directly for questions related to on-line classes.

For more information about the DUI programs, including the enrollment process and what to expect upon entry into a DUI program, please see the DUI brochure:
