Work Package 5 (WP5) of the integrated EU research project DRUID (Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines) deals with rehabilitation of substance impaired drivers. The overall aim of WP5 is to increase knowledge and to elaborate Europe-wide standards for intervention measures for drivers under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or illicit drugs (DUID). All outcomes and recommendations regarding rehabilitation include the entire group of DUI/DUID offenders. The research activities in WP5 are carried out in two steps. In WP5 task 1 (WP5.1) a comprehensive overview on the state of the art is provided and in WP5 task 2 (WP5.2) best practices on DR (driver rehabilitation) of DUI and DUID offenders on all important issues of this topic are worked out, resulting in recommendations on how to carry out DR in Europe in future. The deliverable at hand (D5.1.1) is the result of the research activities in WP5.1 and closes the task’s actions. It aims at providing updated comprehensive knowledge on all issues which are important to file recommendations on best practices of DR. These topics comprise the identification of different types of DUI/DUID offenders, options for assessment including different available approaches, current rehabilitation programmes in- and outside Europe, their scientific evidence regarding traffic safety criteria and research on addiction treatment. With focus on the European situation, actual information from DR providers is specially considered. (Author/publisher) This document is available at https://www.bast.de/Druid/EN/Home/home_node.html
