Driver Benefits, Inc.

The Basics

Founded in 1975, Driver Benefits, Inc. provides outpatient substance abuse treatment and a range of DUI services, including First and Multiple Offender tracks. Located in Torrance, California DBI serves the South Bay area of Los Angeles. The program’s founder, William Wickline, is a former Chairman of the Standards and Ethics Committee of the California Association of Drinking Driver Treatment Programs and helped create the 18-month DUI Multiple Offender treatment concept used widely in diversion programs throughout the country.

Treatment and Staff

Outpatient treatment lasts approximately 18 weeks, depending on attendance. Clients attend group therapy at least once a week and have individual therapy as-needed, usually once a month. Groups address both addiction education and processing skills and use CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI) and the 12-step framework.

Groups don’t exceed 20 participants and are led by addiction counselors with the CADC credential. While many of DBI’s clients have co-occurring disorders, these clients are also referred to nearby psychiatrists and mental health clinics for dual diagnosis support.

DBI requires abstinence from drugs and alcohol in all of its programs and believes that peer support meetings are an important component of a recovery plan. It requires all clients to attend at least 19 AA/NA meetings while enrolled in the outpatient program.

Extras

DBI’s also offers a 15-hour Reckless Driving program in addition to its DUI First and Multiple Offender programs.

In Summary

Driver Benefits, Inc. has been serving the South Bay region of greater Los Angeles for over 40 years.
