 Our
Mission
The primary mission of the SDSU Driving Under the Influence Program (DUIP) is
to help reduce the incidence and prevalence of driving under the
influence and the negative consequences of this behavior for our
community and its residents, and to assist participants in
identifying and seeking solutions to their own alcohol and other
drug problems.
In order to accomplish this mission,
we are committed to providing, under the guidelines established by
the State of California and the County of San Diego, the highest
quality of educational and counseling services to those who have
been convicted of violating the DUI laws.
The San Diego State University
DUI Program operates under California license, (#3700501120). The
Official licensee is the SDSU
Research Foundation a California non-profit organization under
Chapter 501(3)c of the IRS Code. However, the program is
administered by the University College of Health & Human
Services, School of Social Work through the Center for Alcohol and
Drug Studies and Services. Since its
designated area of services by the courts is the San Diego court
district, it is referred to as the "Central
District DUIP". Specific operations are in accordance with
the California Health and Safety Code (H&S C) statute, Chapter
9, Section 11836 through Section 11838.5. This statute is
implemented via regulations adopted by the California Department of
Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP), specified in the California Code of
Regulations (CCR) Title 9, Section 9795 through Section
9886.
