Abstract

Multiple driving under the influence (DUI) offenders present to DUI programs with a variety of needs, including alcohol and other drug use disorders, mood disorders, and psychosocial stressors. This article describes the paradigm developmental model of treatment (PDMT), developed for use with multiple DUI offenders along with accompanying scale and manualized brief interventions. Psychometrics of the PDMT scale are reported elsewhere, but this article describes a PDMT scale revalidation and application to 162 DUI clients. Four case examples are presented regarding the use of the scale by counselors in client assessment and intervention, demonstrating treatment matching for individual client counseling sessions.
