Nicole Richie, who is six months pregnant,has enrolled in a lengthy anti-drinking education program.
Papers filed with the Superior Court of California show that on Sept. 26 Richie signed up for a 18-month anti-drinking driver course, known as the SB 38 Alcohol Program.
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.
Last year, Richie, 26, was arrested in the early hours of Dec. 11 after CHP officers were alerted to a black Mercedes SUV driving the wrong way down Southern California's Highway 134.
This July 27, Richie was sentenced to four days in jail, fined $2,048 â" and forced to sign up for the driving rehab course because she was previously convicted of DUI in June 2003.
On Aug. 24, Richie served a scant 82 minutes in jail.
Last month, Richie also told Diane Sawyer during a lengthy interview that she has cleaned up her act. "No alcohol ... No marijuana ... No pills ... Nothing ... No smoking around me," she said.
