High Degree

The innovative, successful and widely replicated Weekend Intervention Program (WIP) has been highly effective in identifying and intervening with persons charged with alcohol (and other drug) related driving offenses. WIP's model approach allows a high degree of specificity in assigning individuals to the most appropriate treatment setting and successfully prepares the offender for the substance abuse services to be received, therefore, addressing a major impediment to successful treatment — early drop out. Expanded utilization of a program such as WIP can greatly enhance the therapeutic and cost effectiveness of criminal justice system treatment efforts and help establish a viable productive partnership between the criminal justice system and the substance abuse treatment community. In this article the authors describe WIP, its clinical approach and evaluation, and comment upon the benefits of its wider use.
