Community Prevention Programs
County Prevention Programs
The Goal of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) New Mexico’s Youth and Underage Prevention Programs are to reduce DWI, alcoholism, and alcohol abuse by implementing various prevention strategies. MADD’s Power of You(th) program empowers pre-teens and teens to take a stand against underage drinking and to not ride in the car with someone who has been drinking, resist peer pressure, dispel myths about underage drinking, and engage new supporters to carry on MADD’s life-saving work. MADD’s Power of Parents program are to influence parenting behavior to prevent underage drinking, maintain the 21 minimum drinking age law in all 50 states, and engage new supporters to carry on MADD’s lifesaving work.
MADD’s Power of Me program prevents underage drinking and reduce alcohol-related injuries and death among 4th and 5th grade aged children due to underage alcohol use and riding in vehicles with impaired drivers, teaches about early brain development, and basic life and decision-making skills.
The campaign is a local health & wellness campaign from the Office of the National Drug Control Policy, ONDCP, and it is strategically planned, operationalized, implemented, and evaluated. The main goal of the campaign is to reduce underage drinking and associated risk factors.
Additional Objectives:
- Advocate to adults and older youth in thinking of themselves as positive role models for our youth.
- Provide multiple educational venues and social media messages that could challenge people’s thought processes while encouraging their critical thinking skills to stay above the influence of risk factors.
- Engage partners from the entire community to foster long-lasting community relationships in order to build capacity and sustainability for prevention programs.
Communities such as Bernalillo County and the nation are committed to addressing the multifaceted issues of impaired driving. Although direct services prevention such as education about the risk factors and consequences of driving after drinking and enforcement of driving while impaired (DWI) laws may be the most common strategies employed, some communities are also interested in preventing impaired driving. One such strategy embraced by the community is that of providing alternative transportation services for individuals who choose not to drive after drinking. Program coordinated by Cumulus Radio.
Enforcement
Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department and Albuquerque Police Department provides DWI enforcement services to reduce the incidence of DWI and DWI related crashed with visibility of local enforcement through DWI Checkpoints, Saturation Patrols, Underage Alcohol Purchase Stings and Special Saturation Patrols conducted during the International Balloon Fiesta. All DWI arrests made through these activities are reported upon disposition for outcome.
Funding for these services are provided by liquor excise taxes to reduce the incidence of DWI, alcoholism, alcohol abuse and alcohol related domestic violence. http://www.nmdfa.state.nm.us/ldwi-home.aspx
Treatment | Justice PArtners
Addiction Treatment Program (ATP) provides a four week inpatient jail-based treatment program treating DWI offenders and offenders referred by the Judicial System with addictions to alcohol and/or other drugs. The ATP program utilizes a Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) based treatment modality. Each ATP participant receives a week of structured assessment by a licensed clinical staff member. The week of assessment is followed by three weeks of curriculum designed to provide a solid base core of knowledge and skills that can aid clients in maintaining a substance free existence.
Treatment | Court Justice Partners
Bernalillo County Second Judicial District Court Felony Repeat Offender DWI Court Program provides treatment and accountability for repeat felony offenders in the Second Judicial District. The program will ensure public safety, provide an alternative to incarceration, and reduce repeat offender recidivism. The Second Judicial District’s Felony Repeat Offender DWI Court is an effective and cost-saving alternative to incarceration. The SJDC Felony Repeat Offender DWI Court is a demanding 18-to-24-month program for offenders who have had repeat DWI convictions. The target population is adults who are in the jurisdiction of the Second Judicial District Court who have long term moderate to severe alcohol (may include those with dual-diagnoses and co-occurring drug) dependency. The offense characteristics include no less than four felony DWI convictions and no more than six prior DWI convictions. The Second Judicial District Felony Repeat Offender DWI Court Program follows and meets all ten key components of a Drug Court and all ten DWI Court guiding principles. Screening and assessment, population targeting, procedural and distributive justice, judicial interaction, monitoring, treatment, relapse prevention, aftercare, and community integration. The program operates an evidence-based, best practices, post-conviction model and uses intensive supervision, accountability, and long-term treatment. The Second Judicial District’s Felony Repeat Offender DWI Court Program requires therapeutic treatment, regular court appearances, drug testing, regular office check-ins with the DWI Court program manager or compliance officer. The treatment component of the program is comprehensive and is designed to develop self-awareness, realize self-worth, and practice self-discipline, with individual and group counseling sessions to include problem identification, and alternative solutions.
Treatment | Court Justice PArtners
Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court First Offender Program (FOP) offers a supervision program for all defendants found guilty of a DWI First Offense. This unit monitors compliance of all statutory requirements for a DWI first offense. This supervision includes monitoring attendance at required DWI School, the MADD Victim Impact Panel, and community service. Additionally, a large component of a supervised probation plan for a DWI Offender is a thorough substance use treatment assessment and subsequent treatment plan. DWI First time offenders are not eligible for certain specialty courts if they are not repeat offenders, Veterans, or suffering from a behavioral health issue. The major obstacle for most of the DWI Probationers in the DWI First Offender Program and the Standard Supervision Unit are the costs associated with obtaining a substance use assessment and the ability to pay for continued treatment. Removing the issue of financial stress arising from having to pay for treatment will increase participation in treatment, reduce addiction related supervision violations, and assist in a successful completion of the period of supervision. The successful completion of treatment will ultimately help reduce recidivism.
Alternative Sentencing Component
Metropolitan Detention Center provides a Community Custody Program to DWI offenders through security, treatment tracking and compliance. http://www.newmexicosolutions.com/
Youth Services Center provides an 8-week early intervention program to a minimum of 70 screened offenders booked with a DWI, MIP (Minor in Possession) or those referred through the Court process. https://www.bernco.gov/youth-services-center/
Community Partners
Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our diverse partners, we can keep doing what we do, and more teens can keep making smart, healthy decisions.
Through Community Partners, we equip schools and youth-serving organizations across the county with materials and resources to help teens stay above the influence of drugs and alcohol. Strategic Partners offer shared goals, valuable perspectives, and unique opportunities to engage more youth.
