Marking National Substance Use Prevention Month, the collaboration expands access to the discreet, stigma-free accountability tool for individuals building lasting recovery.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During National Substance Use Prevention Month, Mindr, a national leader in substance detection and safety technology, today announced a new partnership between Keepr Alcohol Monitoring and the California DUI Lawyers Association (CDLA).

For many individuals in the criminal justice system, alcohol monitoring is a required condition of court supervision. Criminal defense attorneys frequently hear the same core concerns from clients about traditional wearable monitoring options, from the cost to the daily disruption. Keepr Alcohol Monitoring was developed specifically to address these challenges while providing reliable accountability.

According to the 2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an estimated 25.7 million people aged 12 and older had an alcohol use disorder in the past year. The survey also highlights positively that 22.3 million adults currently consider themselves to be in recovery or to have recovered from a substance use disorder.

A study published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine found that remote alcohol monitoring provides a successful deterrent to relapse when applied for at least 12 months during and after treatment services.

Unlike traditional wearable devices, Keepr Alcohol Monitoring allows individuals to meet supervision and court requirements without wearing a device on their body, helping reduce social stigma and minimize disruption to daily routines and responsibilities.

Keepr Alcohol Monitoring Features and Pricing

• Real-time breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) test results, securely transmitted through the Keepr app with built-in photo and location sharing for transparency and integrity.
• Customizable testing schedules, including randomized or fixed testing windows set by the user or assigned monitors.
• Detailed reporting with a secure digital chain of custody that meets documentation requirements for courts and legal professionals.
• Keepr Alcohol Monitoring starts at $79 a month, and the Keepr® Breathalyzer costs $149.

“Recovery is a journey, and it works best when people have the right support they can lean on along the way,” said Kathy Boden Holland, CEO of Mindr. “That is what this partnership is about. The CDLA sits at a pivotal point in so many recovery journeys, and by providing attorneys, courts, probation departments and treatment providers with this tool, we can help more people access accountability that supports the ability to move forward in life.”

The CDLA includes hundreds of attorneys across California who represent clients in criminal cases and regularly advise on monitoring options, including post-conviction monitoring. As its exclusive portable alcohol monitoring partner, Keepr will work directly with member attorneys to help them understand how BrAC monitoring can support their clients’ sobriety goals.

Keepr Alcohol Monitoring is actively being evaluated and adopted by courts, probation departments, treatment providers and community supervision programs seeking flexible options that balance accountability with affordability and ease of use.

If you or someone you know is affected by alcohol use, SAMHSA’s National Helpline offers free, confidential support 24/7 at 1-800-662-4357.
