Nicole Richie Enrolls In Anti-Drinking Program

 

Six months pregnant Nicole Richie has enrolled into an alcohol rehabilitation program.  Papers were filed with the Superior Court of California showing that Nicole signed up for an 18-month anti-drinking driver course called the SB 38 Alcohol Program on September 26. 

This follows her being convicted of DUI in June 2003 and her most recent driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs after failing a field sobriety test when she was stopped by police in December last year for driving the wrong way down a Californian highway.
According to People:

SB 38 is for people who have been convicted of DUI on more than one occasion within a 7-year period, the Santa Barbara Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse states on its Web site.

The program consists of 52 hours of group counseling, bi-weekly face-to-face interviews and 12 hours of alcohol education, according to the council. Participants are also encouraged to attend 12-step meetings.
