Arizona MVD DUI Screening

Posted on by

Suspension is the temporary removal of your driving privilege. It is an action that may be taken after a review of your driving record. The suspension remains in effect until application for reinstatement is made. In addition to the reinstatement fee, you must pay the appropriate license application fee for your age group.

Each time you are convicted or forfeit bail for a moving traffic violation, points are assessed against your permanent driving record. If you accumulate 8 or more points in any 12-month period, you may be required to attend Traffic Survival School (TSS), or your driving privilege may be suspended up to 12 months. All convictions for red-light/stop-sign running, aggressive driving, moving violations resulting in death or serious injury, and the first moving violation for drivers under 18 years of age require successful completion of Traffic Survival School following assignment. Failure to successfully complete Traffic Survival School when ordered will result in the suspension of the person’s driving privilege.

Although laws vary by state, DUI or DWI is generally considered to be driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs. Most jurisdictions will prosecute DUI to the fullest extent of the law. Individuals accused of drunk driving should retain an experienced DUI/DWI defense attorney to protect your rights. An attorney can help you get a MVD screening to allow daily driving to and from work after getting a DUI. It does however require a MVD screening.

  • Following conviction, all offenders receive a mandatory alcohol assessment/evaluation to determine the nature and extent of their alcohol problems. Assessment costs range from $24–$100 and are paid by the offender or the state, as decided by the court. The assessment is conducted at sentencing. The court does not take the results of the assessment into consideration in final sentencing.
  • Treatment for repeat offenders and high BAC drivers is mandatory on a 3rd offense. All offenders are required to attend alcohol education or treatment as recommended by the assessment.
  • Offenders failing to comply with the terms of their program are not eligible for license reinstatement and may be returned to the court for further action.

    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.

    Stonewall Institute provides complete drug screenings and alcohol screenings to court ordered DUI individuals via recommendation of the Arizona MVD / Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and any other person in need of a substance abuse evaluation. The goal of the alcohol screening is to assess the extent of a client’s current and past alcohol abuse and/or dependence. Individuals are screened through an in-depth personal interview by a qualified professional which includes, but is not limited to, an assessment of:

    1) Client psychosocial history
    2) Physical health problems related to alcohol and/or drug use
    3) Previous history of arrests related to alcohol and/or drug use
    4) Decrease in attendance/productivity at work or school due to alcohol and/or drug use
    5) Prior history of drug or alcohol treatment

    Risk factors which you may not know about that can cause alcoholism are:

    * Steady drinking over time. Drinking too much on a regular basis for an extended period can produce a physical dependence on alcohol.
    * Age. People who begin drinking at an early age are at a higher risk of alcohol dependence or abuse.
    * Sex. Men are more likely to become dependent on alcohol than are women. However, women are at greater risk of developing some medical complications linked to drinking, such as liver disease.
    * Family history. The risk of alcoholism is higher for people who have a parent who abused alcohol.
    * Depression and other mental health problems. It’s common for people with a mental health disorder such as anxiety or depression to abuse alcohol or other substances.
    * Social and cultural factors. Having friends or a close partner who drinks regularly could increase your risk of alcoholism. The glamorous way that drinking is sometimes portrayed in the media may also send the message that it’s OK to drink excessively.
