Alcohol Screening Arizona

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.

The purpose of these screening and counseling laws is simple – without some sort of rehabilitative help, those suffering from addictions are more likely to be repeat offenders.  And without first screening each person individually, the right amount of treatment cannot be given.  Without screening or counseling, imposing monetary or even jail sentences are not always enough to deter future misconduct.  Instead, alcohol abuse counseling programs to rehabilitate may be the better option.  That’s not to say you will not have to serve time in jail or pay fines.  Some combination of abuse treatment, house arrest, and minimum mandatory jail time and fines will still be imposed.

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.
