Court referrals fell.
The requirements didn't.
DUI arrests in California dropped from roughly 180,000 a year in 2011 to about 110,000 in 2021 — but you still carry a DHCS license, county approval, a state-approved fee schedule, certified counselors, and a site review on the horizon. CCAPP Program Membership is $500 a year, and it is built to carry that weight with you.
For California DUI programs licensed under Health & Safety Code Division 10.5, Chapter 9 (§11836 et seq.) and Title 9 CCR, Division 4, Chapter 3. DHCS currently licenses 472 DUI programs across California's 58 counties.
Three things are squeezing DUI programs at once.
None of them are things a single program can fix alone. All of them are things an association is supposed to be for.
Fewer referrals
The DMV's own DUI-MIS reporting shows a decade-long decline in DUI arrests — about 110,000 in 2021 versus about 180,000 in 2011. Fixed overhead — rent, staff, licensure — did not shrink with the census.
A fee schedule you don't control
Your rates are set by a state-approved fee schedule, not by the market. When costs rise, the remedy is an administrative process, not a price change.
Two masters
State licensure and county recommendation both have to stay current, and they don't always move in the same direction or on the same timeline.
The association layer — plus a DUI-specific one.
Everything here comes with CCAPP Program Membership. The three cards up top exist because DUI programs are fee-for-service, court-referred, dual-approved, and regulated under their own chapter.
Featured statewide DUI directory listing
CCAPP's Find a DUI Program directory lists all California DUI programs — with member programs featured. Searchable by county, program length (3/6/9-month, 18-month/SB 38, 30-month), delivery mode, walk-in availability, and 25+ languages.
Employer Dashboard — free
