Impaired Driving Solutions (IDS), a division of All Rise, brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective that integrates behavioral health science, justice system responses, and public safety outcomes. Research consistently demonstrates that repeat impaired driving is rarely the result of isolated poor decision-making. Instead, it is frequently associated with substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, trauma exposure, cognitive impairment, and chronic psychosocial instability. Effective responses, therefore, require structured accountability paired with individualized, evidence-based treatment and supervision, rather than reliance on punitive approaches alone.
Presented through a Safe System and public health framework, this interactive workshop will examine how impaired driving interventions can be strengthened by integrating validated screening and assessment, risk-need-responsivity principles, treatment matching, monitoring, and judicial oversight. Presenters will highlight research and applied models that align behavioral health treatment with justice system responses to improve public safety and reduce recidivism.
