abstract="The screening and referral to treatment of dwi offenders with a drinking problem have raised serious clinical issues in alcoholism rehabilitation. This paper presents a structural overview of an &quot;adjustment demand&quot; which develops as the result of the stress caused by a dwi arrest and conviction. The &quot;adjustment demand&quot; model is designed to give the clinician in alcoholism rehabilitation a conceptual framework within which to work with mandated clients. Stress is analysed in relationship to a dwi arrest. The transition from stress to an internalized threat is looked at as a disruption to a homeostatic condition - as defined by the individual who is arrested. This transition results in threat aroused emotions which call for the development of an &quot;adjustment demand&quot;. Both the task oriented and defense oriented &quot;adjustment demands&quot; are analysed with particular attention to issues relevant to alcoholism treatment. The author believes that a dwi arrest is the best early identification and outreach system available to the alcoholism treatment community. (Author/TRRL)<p />",
