Meet Our Divisions

Impaired Driving Solutions

In June at RISE23, we unveiled our new name and brand as All Rise. As part of the rebrand, we’ve also made changes to our divisions, and we’d like to introduce you to them one by one. You’ve already met the Treatment Court Institute; next is Impaired Driving Solutions (formerly the National Center for DWI Courts).

Impaired Driving Solutions uplifts communities by leading a comprehensive approach to solve one of the greatest threats to public safety in the country: impaired driving. We do this by implementing evidence-based and promising legal and clinical interventions.

Impaired Driving Solutions partners with federal agencies, state highway safety offices, and leaders in the private sector to provide cutting-edge training and curated solutions for communities to implement, expand, and improve impaired driving treatment court programs (i.e., DWI courts) and other interventions that provide treatment and accountability based on research-driven best practices.

“I’m thrilled we relaunched as Impaired Driving Solutions! The name is definitive of who we are and what we provide to communities. Our staff and team of diverse faculty have experience working across every intercept point in the justice system, and we’re building actionable solutions proven to save lives.”

– Jim Eberspacher, Director, Impaired Driving Solutions
