THE PHOENIX DWI PROGRAM: SUCCESSFUL RESULTS

The Phoenix DWI program, a corrective course for persons convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI), continues to show evidence not only for reducing repeat drunk driving, but also for dealing with the more pervasive problem of alcoholism, of which DWI may be a symptom. This paper describes the course and some of its successful outcomes, and suggests guidelines for identifying and helping problem drinkers among the participants--a necessary ingredient for success.
