
A court ordered alcohol and drug testing management tool designed to deal
with problem drinkers/drug users.
The goal of the program is to enhance behavior modification of the
participant, reduce jail costs, reduce DUI recidivism, and increase public
safety within your community;
Requires those arrested for or convicted of a second or subsequent violation
of RCW 46.61.502/504 (DUI) to abstain from alcohol and drugs, take twice-aday on-site breath tests, use a remote electronic alcohol monitoring device, or
submit to urinalysis testing.
All testing fees are paid by the participant and the majority of the funds
collected are retained by the local jurisdiction.
Serves as an alternative to incarceration or in addition to other court ordered
activities, is cost effective, allows participants to work and remain in the
community, drive if eligible, care for their families and stay out of the criminal
justice system by changing their behaviors;
Violation of program rules leads to predetermined, swift and certain
sanctions.

Means a 24 hour, 7 day a week testing program
in which a participant submits to testing of
their blood, breath, urine, or other bodily
substance in order to determine the presence of
alcohol, marijuana, or any controlled substance
in their body.
Alcohol testing by on-site PBT, remote breath
or transdermal device.
Drug testing by on-site urinalysis or drug
patch.
The Alco-Sensor FST
 Certified in WA
 Offers rapid and
accurate testing.
 Extremely durable
instrument.
 Designed to do 150
tests per hour.
SCRAM – CONTINUOUS ALCOHOL
MONITORING
SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring
(CAM). SCRAM CAM, worn 24/7,
automatically samples a client’s
perspiration, every 30 minutes, to
measure for alcohol consumption.
SOBERLINK SL2 is a rugged, one-piece, mobile
alcohol monitoring device that measures Breath
Alcohol Content (BrAC) by collecting deep lung
breath samples. The SL2 incorporates Adaptive
Facial Recognition, evidentiary-grade fuel cell
technology and multiple acquisition technologies to
ensure the client is accurately identified and tested.
Results of each test are promptly reported to the
central monitoring computer system via a cellular
connection. Each test report includes a high
resolution client photo, BrAC reading, GPS location
and time and date stamp to ensure accuracy.

Washington’s Program is based on the original
24/7 Sobriety Program from South Dakota. SD’s
program started in 2005 and now has 61/66,
(92.5%) of their counties participating
2013 - RAND Corporation study in the American
Journal of Public Health reported that South
Dakota saw a
12% reduction in recidivism for DUI offenses and a
 9% reduction in recidivism for domestic violence
offenses

following adoption of their 24/7 Sobriety Program

Montana began statewide testing in 2012 and has
24/56 (43%) of their counties participating in 24/7
Sobriety testing.
Montana reported a 30% decrease in alcohol-related
motor vehicle fatalities in 2013, at the same time as
overall highway fatalities increased by approximately
10%.
2014 - RAND Corporation study on “The Effect of
Montana’s 24/7 Sobriety Program On DUI Re-Arrest”.
They concluded that 24/7 sobriety program
participation reduced the probability of DUI re-arrest
in Montana 45% to 70%
2015 to date, alcohol related fatalities are down 57%
from 2012.

All you have to do is
visit a test site, and it
is readily apparent
why the 24/7 Sobriety
Program works.
A participant is
required to show up at
a test site twice a day,
approximately 12
hours apart, and
submit to a breath
alcohol test.


The simplicity of the program, coupled with
swift and certain consequences for noncompliant events, drives better behavior and
outcomes.
Washington’s 24/7 Sobriety Program data is
limited at this point but there is no reason to
believe that it will reflect differently from other
states who have had the program much longer.
