Whereas drunken driving causes danger on the road, drinking also harms brain, in view of this, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested the "Global Alcohol Injury Prevention Strategy" in 2010, which considered drunken driving as a public health issue, and has elevated it to a worldwide social problem, where it is the responsibility of government to widely publicize preventive measures taken for drunk driving! With years of publicity and education by government departments and sectors, "Do Not drunken driving" has become a consensus in Taiwan society, decreasing the proportion of casualties in drunk driving year by year. Agency of Corrections, the Ministry of Justice, collected domestic and overseas literatures related with rehabilitation of alcoholism and the opinions of experts and scholars, referring to the concept of "tertiary prevention" in public health, planning and designing the intervention for drunk driving offenders by agencies of corrections, improving personal social responsibility, reducing alcohol myths, and strengthen the motivation of change with professional guidance, expecting to promote behavior change.

1. The concept of tertiary preventive intervention
Promote intolerant drunken driving, and increase inmates' concern of social responsibility! The preliminary prevention level presents universal promulgation toward all inmates to get knowledge about alcohol and get rid of drinking myths, so as to prevent future similar behaviors. The secondary prevention level focuses on those inmates charged with inability of safe driving, where not only medical and health education and related laws and regulations, but also life education are used to reinforce their accountability of life and society. The third prevention level helps trigger the motive of drunken-driving offenders who may be addicted to alcohol to change, and reduce targeted behaviors such as drunken driving, violence, etc., benefiting resuming social function.
2. Planning "short-term" drunken driving course
For those inmates with less than 6 months of imprisonment, we planned out short-term courses spanning across three aspects, medical and health education, life education, and rule of law education, thereby strengthening their concept of the rule of law and trigger motive to change, and provide referral community-based resources depending on the needs to create an interventions mechanism with short-term effect.
3. Promote medical cooperation links
Alcoholism involves both psychological and physical aspects, which cannot be solved only by serving a sentence in the jail. It also demands for introduction of medical resources to assist cases in accepting alcohol treatment in hospital, thereby improving recidivism of drunken driving caused by problems including alcoholism. For drunken-driving offenders who may be addicted to alcohol, medical resources are introduced or professional teachers with specialty in psychological counseling and experiences as a practical leader amid groups for reintegration and connection with community intervention.

　　A lot of social problems are hidden behind a behavior of drunk driving. Studies suggested that drunken driving offenders usually had earlier start of drinking, who often evade trouble by drinking, not only hurting body but also being vulnerable to problems! Agency of Corrections, Ministry of Justice had a cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the "Corrective Agency’s Integrative Drug Addiction Treatment Service and Quality Improvement Program". In 2022, there are a total of 15 corrective agencies accepting relevant medical services and title transferred, encouraging inmates with alcoholic problems or alcoholism to go for doctor service in time, effectively help expanding intervention service network, and make joint efforts to assist in the rehabilitation of drunken driving inmates.
　　Complicated drunken-driving issues and shorter sentences are challenges for corrections and intervention. Agency of Corrections, Ministry of Justice emphasizes to reinforce their social responsibilities and motivate them to change their own drunken-driving behaviors during corrections. We also had cooperation with labor, healthcare, social and political forces, linking up community resources including employment, medical care, family relationship or long-term care for the elderly, an active cooperation for community intervention forms a social safety net to achieve secured effect!
