Solicitud de licencia​​  

Although DHCS is responsible for licensing all DUI programs statewide, the licensing process begins at the county level. Applicants must first contact the appropriate County Alcohol and Drug program Administrator to determine whether applications for new DUI programs are being accepted. Applications may be accepted to provide first offender services, multiple offender services, or both.  An application packet may then be obtained from the Substance Use Disorder Compliance Division – DUI and Criminal Justice Section.  Once the application is completed, it must be submitted to the County Behavioral Health Director or other appropriate county personnel for approval. The County must submit the application to the Board of Supervisors to obtain a recommendation for licensure. Once the recommendation is obtained, the application must be submitted to DHCS, along with a $400 non-refundable application fee.​​ 

Dentro de la solicitud, el solicitante debe demostrar que posee las capacidades administrativas, fiscales y operativas adecuadas para operar un Programa de DUI; el Programa es limpio, seguro y libre de consumo de alcohol o drogas ilícitas; y se adherirá a todos los estatutos y reglamentos aplicables. Después de la revisión y aprobación de la solicitud, se emitirá una licencia para proporcionar servicios de DUI.​​
