MAAC

The maac project dui program provides individual counseling, group counseling & educational services to persons 18 years of age & older, who have been charged w/ driving under the influence & referred by the court, probation, or the department of motor vehicles as required by title 9 of the california code of regulations. The maac project dui program is licensed by the state of california department of alcohol & drug programs contracted by the county of san diego. Counseling & education classes are provided in english & spanish. It is important to realize that participants in the dui program come from every walk of life. They do not attend the facility on a daily basis. The “average” participant attends the program one time a week for a group & education class. The individual face to face sessions are usually scheduled on the same day as another activity. Some participants only attend the facility once a month for a period of six months.

Maac project has developed specific treatment services to address the high rate of alcohol & drug abuse. To help increase the probability for a person to achieve long term sobriety, great effort is made to provide services from a cultural context. Two specific social model programs demonstrating maac's mission in action are casa de milagros & nosotros; two bilingual, state licensed, long-term residential recovery homes for individuals w/ alcohol & drug abuse problems. Both programs are contracted w/ san diego alcohol & drug services & mental health systems, inc. referrals are accepted from various programs such as, parolee partnerships program (p3) , sasca & sb 1453.
