Arizona MVD DUI Screening

Posted on by

Nearly every state has some form of court ordered alcohol or substance abuse counseling that is required for DUI offenders.  The rules for screening and counseling vary from state to state. The majority of states require first time and/or repeat offenders to enroll in some kind of substance abuse treatment program.  Such programs are usually part of probation or parole conditions.  To determine what level of counseling is appropriate for individual offenders, some state statutes also impose a mandatory substance abuse screening, a process oftendone prior to sentencing.

An Ignition Interlock Device is a breath analyzer on your vehicle that is electronically connected to the ignition. These devices, the SSI 1000, is about the size of a cellular phone. When you breathe into the unit for several seconds, it measures your breath alcohol level and compares it with predetermined limits. A DUI is a serious matter. While first-time offenders may have better luck than repeat offenders, few people can afford to deal with the consequences of being arrested for driving under the influence. There are many different things that can come out because of being tried for a DUI. Continued alcohol and drug screening and counseling are often the result of such an arrest.

DUI Evaluation Tempe

One study has shown that a brief intervention in the emergency department may be effective for alcohol users. This concept is sometimes called the “teachable moment”. Injured alcohol-using  patients were randomly assigned to receive either brief advice or no advice regarding alcohol abuse and completed a 12-month follow-up interview. The group receiving the brief advice tended to report lower alcohol consumption at 12-month follow-up compared to those who did not receive advice.
