Court Required Programs

DO I HAVE TO ATTEND AN ALCOHOL OR DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM?

Whether you will be required to attend an alcohol or drug treatment program depends upon if you are granted probation or not. A condition of being placed on probation for a first time DUI is that you must complete an alcohol/drug treatment program. If your blood alcohol level was less than a .20 you will be required to complete a 3 month program. If your blood alcohol level was .20 or more you will be required to complete a 6 month program.

If you have a second DUI (defined as another DUI within 7 years of an earlier DUI) you may be required to complete an 18 or a 30 month program approved pursuant to the California H&S Code.

Even if you aren’t required by the Court to complete an alcohol/drug treatment program you will have to complete one to have your license reinstated by the DMV. These requirements are complicated and the advice of a competent lawyer is advisable.
