In assessing need for substance abuse treatment, patients frequently underestimate their consumption. This underestimation may be attributed to denial, one of the hallmarks of the disease process of substance abuse. Patients may be asked about their drug or drugs of choice and the frequency, amount, and method of use.  CAGE is one type of evaluation:

  • C – Has anyone ever felt you should C ut down on your drinking?
  • A – Have people A nnoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
  • G – Have you ever felt G uilty about your drinking?
  • E – Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning (E ye-opener) to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

The State of Arizona has a drunk driving law that prohibits a person from driving when they have a concentration of .08 percent or more alcohol in their blood system. The measurement of 0.08 percent Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the standard measurement used by all states in America. Studies have determined that a BAC level of 0.05 Percent leaves most drivers “Impaired”, therefore the 0.08 percent measurement has been calculated as the standard measurement for a DUI conviction in the United States. If you are convicted of a drunk driving offense in the State of Arizona you face many penalties such as jail time, fines and Arizona SR22 insurance requirements.
