An ignition interlock is a breath analyzing device slightly larger than a cell phone and is wired to the vehicle’s ignition and installed on the vehicle dashboard. Before the vehicle can be started, the driver first must exhale into the device. If the interlock detects alcohol on the breath, the engine will not start.

At random times after the engine has been started, the device will require the driver to provide another breath sample. If the breath sample isn’t provided, or the sample exceeds a set blood alcohol level, the device will log the event, warn the driver and then start up an alarm (e.g., lights flashing) until the ignition is turned off, or a clean breath sample has been provided.

For safety reasons, the device can not turn off the car ignition once it has been started.

Counseling is important, and as part of your sentence or probation you are required to complete all sessions.  Failure to adhere to the court ordered requirements may result in increased penalties and probation violations.  Additionally, many state driving agencies will not re-issue a driving license or permit until the counseling conditions have been properly fulfilled.

If you are suffering from an alcohol or substance abuse problem, it is highly recommended that you seek help. For help with your questions and concerns regarding any of these programs, contact an experienced attorney in your area for information.

It is not uncommon for a defense attorney to advise clients to attend AA meetings or other alcohol abuse counseling while their cases are still pending. The fees for alcohol screening and substance abuse programs vary.  Defendants are usually required to pay any costs in addition to any court fines imposed. Some states allow the court fines to be reduced or offset by the cost of substance abuse counseling.

Scottsdale MVD Screening

The average drunk driver has driven drunk 87 times before a first arrest. And on any given day, your family shares the roadways with more than 2 million drunk drivers who have had three or more prior convictions. While suspending the license of these individuals makes sense, in reality, three out of four of those with a suspended license still drive, threatening the safety of you and your loved ones. That is why MADD now supports the usage of ignition interlock devices, or in-car breathalyzers, which require all convicted drunk drivers to prove they are sober before the car will start.

Stonewall Institute provides complete drug and alcohol screenings to court ordered DUI individuals, and any other person in need of a substance abuse evaluation. To schedule your appointment call 602-535-6468.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, car wrecks are the leading cause of death for people in America who are under the age of 24, and about 40 percent of those deaths are somehow related to alcohol. Many of those in this statistic were the drivers or passengers of drunk drivers, and recent dui statistics are showing increasing trends.

Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiological disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving.

Physical dependence is a state of adaptation that is manifested by a drug class specific withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug, and/or administration of an antagonist.

Tolerance is the body’s physical adaptation to a drug: greater amounts of the drug are required over time to achieve the initial effect as the body “gets used to” and adapts to the intake.

Many people think that alcohol abuse and alcoholism are the same.  This is misinformation that is not a reflection of accurate alcoholism and alcohol abuse information, alcohol abuse statistics, or information about alcohol facts.

Although both concepts are similar, they are not the same.  Alcohol abuse, unlike alcoholism, does not include physical dependence, loss of control due to drinking, or an extremely strong desire for alcohol.

A Definition of Alcohol Abuse.  Alcohol abuse is defined as a pattern of drinking that results in one or more of the following circumstances in a twelve-month period of time:

  • Drinking in situations that can result in physical injury.  Examples include driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
  • Failure to attend to important responsibilities at work, home, or school.
  • Experiencing recurring alcohol-related legal problems.  Examples include getting arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, for damaging someone’s property, or for physically hurting someone while drunk.
  • Continued drinking in spite of ongoing relationship problems that are the result of drinking.
