"During the six years after inpatient treatment, 15.5% of the cohort was convicted of another Driving while Under the Influence of alcohol (DUI). The reoffense rate was significantly different across criminal types and was not related to the time post treatment years at risk. The findings show there has been no significant improvement in treatment outcome over the last 20 years. New and innovative DUI offender policies and practices are needed to better engage the heterogeneous offender population, and reduce the incidence of repeat DUI."
