Arizona DUI Classes

The state of Arizona punishes DUI convictions harshly. The consequences for being convicted of drunk driving might include jail time, heavy fines, the revocation of licensure, and more. A skilled and experienced DUI defense lawyer can help you to challenge these allegations or to negotiate a resolution that will expose you to lesser penalties. Enrolling in an approved substance abuse class, designed to inform a DUI offender of the dangers of driving under the influence and how to prevent alcohol abuse in the future, is one possible means of obtaining reduced punishment.

If you have been arrested and charged with DUI or related crimes, it is important to speak with an attorney about your rights. Contact the Arizona DUI defense attorneys of Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., at 602-510-9999 today for a free consultation.

DUI Program Requirements

You may be assigned a substance abuse class at any level of DUI charge. Even if this is your first DUI, attendance at these classes may be required. The state of Arizona puts a high priority on rehabilitation and believes that education is an important part of this process. The following are types of classes designed for this purpose:

  • Level 1 – Outpatient sessions, 36-72 hours, most likely assigned to second time offenders, aggravated DUIs, and extreme DUIs.
  • Level 2 – 16 hours in a month spent in class, frequently assigned to first-time DUI offenders.

The judge in your case may consider being more lenient if you are proactive in completing these courses. Showing the desire to accept rehabilitation is an important step in seeking to reduce your DUI sentence.
