DUI program services in California must be completed through the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) licensed DUI program. California’s Health and Safety Code (HSC), Division 10.5, Part 2, Chapter 9, Section 11836 establishes the DHCS as having the sole authority to license DUI Programs to provide alcohol or drug recovery services to a person whose license to drive has been administratively suspended or revoked for, or who is convicted of, a violation of Section 23152 or 23153 of the Vehicle Code (VC), and admitted to a program pursuant to Section 13352, 23538, 23542, 23548, 23552, 23556, 23562, or 23568 of the Vehicle Code.

Pursuant to Title 9, California Code of Regulations (CCR), Chapter 3, Section 9848, a DUI program may enroll any person who presents documentation from the court or the DMV verifying his/her arrest or conviction for a DUI violation specified in HSC Section 11836 as referenced above. To ensure timely program enrollment, DHCS will allow several types of documents generated by the DMV or court. (See DHCS acceptable Enrollment Document Matrix)

Although DHCS licenses DUI program services, program requirements are ultimately dependent on offenses specified in California Vehicle Code, and interpreted by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)-Mandatory Action Unit (MAU), in conjunction with the court of conviction.

When enrolling in a DUI program following arrest for a DUI offense prior to a conviction, the DUI program will enroll you in the most appropriate program type based on the information contained in the enrollment documents you present along with any additional information you are able to provide at that time. DHCS encourages you to contact the DMV-MAU at (916) 657-6525 if you have questions/concerns specific to the type of DUI program you will ultimately be required to complete.

Please note, following your initial DUI program enrollment there may be instances in which DMV’s MAU review of your DUI offense/driving history and/or court proceeding may necessitate a modification of the program type you are/were initially enrolled in. In all instances, you are financially responsible for all DUI program services received and/or incurred during your enrollment in a DUI program. (Additional program service fees are identified in the participant contract you will review and sign at the time of DUI program enrollment)

The following consent/agreement and required enrollment documents must be completed and placed in your participant file as required by CCR, Title 9 requirements. As with all documents produced during your DUI program enrollment and participation, you are encouraged to retain copies for your records.

*I verify I have read and understand the information provided to me on the Informed Consent and Agreement document regarding my DUI program enrollment. I am aware in some instances the DMV- MAU or court may later amend my program service type and in all cases, I am financially responsible for all DUI program services received.

On submitting the form, the form(s) will be emailed directly to Jackson-Bibby and a representative from Jackson-Bibby will reach out to schedule your enrollment appointment if it hasn't been scheduled already. 

At the time of your enrollment, the enrollment coordinator will review these documents with you and they will require you to sign and date them. If you have any further questions or have additional documents to submit, please contact the office that you are at enrolling at.
