The number of females arrested and rearrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs has increased in the past two decades.

Increased female representation within those arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or other drugs suggests the need for more nuanced approaches to their evaluation, treatment, sentencing and supervision.

The purpose of this short monograph is to briefly review what is known about:

1) the prevalence of female drinking and driving,

2) the profile of the female DUI offender,

3) gender-specific patterns of alcohol and drug dependency,

4) special approaches to the treatment of the female DUI offender, and

5) patterns of long-term recovery for women.

The monograph includes recommendations drawn from the scientific literature and the authors experience treating addicted women and evaluating gender-specific treatment programs.
