It is true getting a DUI is a scary, embarrassing, confusing
and unfortunate event. The courts don’t talk to the MVD and the MVD doesn’t report
to the courts. It’s a lot like being an only child of divorced parents. Now typically
Arizona DUI Services and the DUI Services and customer service we offer is
capable of bridging the gap between the courts and the MVD. When a client
completes their mandated alcohol and drug screening, we confirm with the MVD
that the DUI Screening has been completed and will send the Screener’s notes to
the appropriate court. Similarly, when a client completes the 16 Hour DUI Education,
we notify the MVD and send a certificate of completion to the appropriate
court. It really is a simple task and something we enjoy doing for our clients.
In our experience this process we have of confirming completed Alcohol and Drug
Screenings and 16 Hour DUI Education with the MVD and courts works 99% of the
time. However, we have come to understand the Glendale Municipal Court has an
exclusive agreement with Community Support Services and will not accept our 16
Hour DUI Education and only after some groveling by our client was our Arizona
Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Department approved DUI Screening
accepted.
So, my advice to anyone who has been arrested of a DUI in
the City of Glendale who is motivated and is looking to knock out your Alcohol
and Drug Screening and DUI Education before you go to court, is to contact
Community Support Services to complete your DUI Services.
Now if you were not arrested in Glendale and you are
motivated to complete your Alcohol and Drug Screening and 16 Hour DUI Education
before your court date Arizona DUI Services is here for you! With our
electronic DUI Screenings and online DUI education you can complete both
services in as little as two days! To get started with your Alcohol and Drug Screening

DUI Services are the services which help DUI offenders meet Arizona’s
Administrative Penalties. Administrative Penalties are imposed by ADOT/MVD
and are triggered by the arrest. DUI Services will be needed to meet the penalties
regardless of the final outcome of the court case. Once the arrest triggers the
penalties you will need DUI Service to regain your driving privileges. The
Administrative Penalties consist of an alcohol and drug screening, DUI
Education and an ignition interlock.
The order of the DUI Services typically starts with your alcohol
and substance abuse screening. The screening is essentially an assessment which
will look into the history of substance/alcohol abuse, the history of how
drugs/alcohol has impacted your life and any treatment history. The typical screening
will take about 30 minutes and how you answer these questions will impact the clinical
recommendations which will be the second step in the DUI Services process.
Clinical recommendations for treatment following the Alcohol/Drug
Screening will range from 16 Hours of DUI Education for level 2 offenders or 36
Hours of DUI Education for Level 1 offenders. Again, the Alcohol and Drug
Screening will determine which level offender the individual is. Also, the 36
Hours will consist of 16 hours of education and 20 hours of group sessions.
Although Arizona DUI Services is an ADOT/MVD approved and AZDHS
licensed facility we are not a treatment facility. Not being a treatment
facility has some great benefits for our clients. Since we are not a treatment
facility there will not be an intake process which requires time and money,
both of which are limited. However, since we are not a treatment facility should
an individual be deemed a Level 1 offender and need the 36 Hours of DUI Treatment,
they will need to find a licensed treatment facility to complete the 20 Hours
of group sessions. Having to use a treatment facility to complete 20 hours of
group sessions will typically require an intake fee.
If the offender has been recommended 16 hours of DUI education
as treatment Arizona DUI Services can help meet those requirements. The content
of the 16 Hour DUI Course has been determined by the Arizona Department of
Health Services and will cover BAC, Alcohol Use Disorders, Substance Use
Disorders, the Physiological and Psychological effects of drugs and alcohol,
and alternatives to drug and alcohol use.
The final DUI Service will be to install an ignition interlock
on the offender’s vehicle. This is typically the last step because offenders may
have their license suspended for a minimum of 90 days. The ignition interlock
will be installed for 12 months; however, it is not uncommon for the 12 months
to be reduced to six months when the offender completes the 16 Hour DUI
Education course.
So, there you have it DUI Services are the services
individuals will need to meet the Administrative Penalties triggered by a DUI arrest.
Again, regardless the outcome of the court case the Administrative Penalties
are required to be fulfilled.

Penalties associated with ADOT/MVD you can start registering for you Alcohol

There are many emotions and thoughts that come with a DUI. A DUI
can be emotionally painful, financially devastating, socially awkward and
mentally draining. Dealing with the social stigma is a delicate balancing act
as you try getting time off to complete an Alcohol/Drug Screening without
drawing too much attention because if everyone knew where you were going, they
may think less of you and the thought of being rejected by your peers can
breathe life into long forgotten emotional pains.
Then there is the possibility of the person you’re interested in
at work finally noticing you and asks you to meet them and their friends
Saturday night for a quick dinner and a movie. Sadly, you have to decline the
invitation because you don’t have a valid driver’s license; maybe you could
catch a ride with a friend but you know there is chance you may be shelling out
$2500 in fines and penalties so financially, things are getting tight. This may
not be exactly what you are dealing with but chances are your story still has
some new DUI induced life altering obstacles.
These are some of the unfortunate consequences of being convicted
of a DUI. This sounds like a lot to deal with because it is, regrettably there
may be more for you to decipher.
When you consider Arizona had over 21,000 DUI’s in 2018 one would
assume the legal process is straightforward; after all your DUI wasn’t the
first recorded DUI.
Sadly, trying to get your driver’s licenses reinstated after a DUI
can be a complicated event. From the outside looking in I have discovered the
Arizona state courts and the MVD can have competing needs and fractured lines
of communication. It all comes down to the difference between the law and the
license. Courts are established to ensure you operate within and
stay compliant with the law and the MVD is in place to confirm you are meeting
the state requirements in order to reinstate your driving privileges according
to Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS).
As a casual observer I noticed the courts are able to operate with
a bit more subjectivity. For instance, I heard a story about an individual who
was convicted of a DUI and the courts ordered the individual to install an
ignition interlock device for 6 months and complete the 16 hours of DUI
Education. Seems simple right? Get the interlock and do your education and get
your license back. Unfortunately, the MVD is more objective and more likely to
stick to the ARS
section 28-1381. In my previous example the individual may have done
exactly what the judge asked them to do however, the MVD may still require an
Alcohol/Drug screening and an additional 6 months of the interlock device and
without contacting the MVD to confirm their requirements, they may have had
their license revoked- further complicating the situation.
With two distinct entities involved in the DUI process, by
overlooking the scope of duties for one group it is possible to fall out of
compliance with the other and this confusion can become costly. Falling out of
compliance could result in further fines, extended loss of driving privileges,
possible jail time or additional months with an ignition interlock device.
So, what is the key to getting your driving privileges reinstated
and moving forward with your life? The first step you should do is exactly what
the judge has asked you to do. If you were ordered to get an interlock device
or complete the DUI Education then add that to your calendar or to do list and
get it done. The second step I suggest you do is call the MVD (602.712.7355)
and verify which requirements you are to complete. This will clear up any
confusion and set you on the right path. Also, depending on what the judge
orders you to do you may have already completed some of the requirements.
My last piece of advice is to get compulsive especially if you have already talked to someone at the MVD. I encourage you to call a second or even third time just to validate what you have already been told. Once you have contacted the MVD, have your court orders in hand and understand what it is you need to do to get your driver license reinstated. I have some good news for you- Arizona DUI Services is not complicated. We have designed our website to be transparent and clearly outlining the process for each of our services, displaying the costs of our services and creating a user friendly dashboard to help you complete the DUI Screening, Revocation and/or 16 Hour DUI Education. If you are in need of an Alcohol/Drug Screening, Revocation or 16 Hour DUI Education, let Arizona DUI Services be the last piece in the puzzle and step closer to getting your driver’s license back.
It sounds counter intuitive
and silly when you hear organizations talk about putting the customer first.
After all isn’t this why someone starts a business? The truth is, there is a
lot that goes into putting customers first. Every aspect of the organization
from frontline employees to marketing must be single mindedly focused on
creating the best customer experience. Even the customer experience has its
distinctions and the best organizations are looking to create the experience
customers are looking for, not the experience the organization thinks they
should have.
Since its inception in late
2018 Arizona DUI Services has been identifying obstacles in the customer’s
journey and making incremental changes to improve their experience. Here is a quick
check of the progress we have made:
Redesigned our website to offer more information making our prices and processes more transparent.
Early trials with various payment processing organizations have cleared out awkward and cumbersome vendors. After beta tests we have determined PayPal to be the most user-friendly point of sale (POS) vender.
Similarly to our testing of POS vendors we have tested a few video communication platforms for our screenings. In our experience we have determined the most effective way to connect with clients is to create a video chat function within our client’s dashboard. By eliminating third party vendors we are able to simplify the alcohol screening and revocation process.
To make the Alcohol and Substance Abuse screening, Revocation and Education services easier we have developed a user friendly dashboard. Each user with have their own dashboard with clear instructions outlining the process of each service.
The user dashboard allows our education clients 24 hour access to their classes. The ease of accessing the education content when it is convenient for the user assists the user in meeting daily demands and still meets the MVD/court ordered education requirement.
After each Alcohol/Substance Abuse Screening or Revocation our staff will upload their notes to the user’s dashboard and send a copy to the appropriate court and MVD on behalf of the customer.
It is the desire of Arizona
DUI Services to offer superior customer service and a set of services that are
simple, quick and final. It is our belief that innovation comes through
incremental changes and it is our challenge to continue identifying areas to
improve, develop winning strategies and put controls in place to track the
progress of our strategies.
When someone is convicted of a DUI offense one of the very first
steps needed to resolve the issue is the DUI Screening. Seems simple enough but
the DUI Screening has several aliases. An Alcohol Screening, an Alcohol and
Substance Abuse Screening, a Drug and Alcohol Screening, an Arizona MVD Alcohol
Screening, an MVD Alcohol Screening, a Court Ordered Screening, a DUI
Evaluation, an MVD Ordered Screening, and an Arizona DUI Screening and MVD DUI
Screening. The actual DUI Screening has so many pseudonyms when someone calls
Arizona DUI Services, they are uncertain we even offer the service.
To
cut through the chaos I want to start by saying yes, Arizona DUI Services
offers Alcohol Screenings, Alcohol and Substance Abuse Screenings, Drug and
Alcohol Screenings, Arizona MVD Alcohol Screenings, MVD Alcohol Screenings,
Court Ordered Screenings, DUI Evaluations, MVD Ordered Screenings, and Arizona
DUI screenings and MVD DUI screenings. At the end of the day all of these
assorted screenings are just DUI Screenings.
Now
that we’ve cleared up that confusion, I want to tell you that not all DUI
Screenings are created equal. When you break it all down here is why Arizona
DUI Services may be the best available option. Here are three quick
observations regarding DUI Screening facilities and Arizona DUI Services.
•
Some facilities are Drug and Alcohol Treatment Clinics and before you can gain
access to their services you must go through an intake process before you can
complete your DUI Evaluation, which will be an additional cost to you. Arizona
DUI Services is not a treatment facility so there is no intake process or
additional fees. Arizona DUI Service’s MVD DUI Screenings may actually help you
keep more of your money in your own pocket.
•
Let’s do some simple addition, an intake process and a Drug and Alcohol
Screening are two separate services and each service requires your time.
Without having to complete the intake process Arizona DUI Services is going to
requires less of your time and who wants to sit in a clinic for a few hours in
the middle of the day? Not only can Arizona DUI Services save you time it is
not uncommon for our clients to complete their Court Ordered Screening the same
day they contact us.
•
Many of our competitors require their clients to visit a physical location
which can be problematic. In Economics, the term opportunity cost states when
you make a decision to do ‘A’ you lose the opportunity to do ‘B.’ In this
scenario when someone chooses to visit a physical location they miss out on
work or family, something has to give; another issue to consider? Individuals
looking to complete an Arizona DUI Screening have a suspended driver’s license
and now need help getting to the clinic, not an easy ask if your friends have
jobs too. Great news! Arizona DUI Services understands our client’s unique
needs and helps our clients overcome these obstacles. With Arizona DUI Services
our clients get to pick the time and day of their Drug and Alcohol Screening
and complete the screening through their own smart device from a location of
their choice. Our Alcohol Screenings are designed for busy people.
Not all DUI Screenings are created equal some require more time, money and transportation but with Arizona DUI Services you can complete your Alcohol and Substance Abuse Screening using your smart device or laptop from any location with an internet connection. Completing your DUI Screening really is as simple as going to our website http://www.arizonaduiservices.com and setting up a user account. If you need an Alcohol Screening but don’t have the time to go to a clinic Arizona DUI Services is the right fit for you.
Although courts do not look favorably upon a
DUI conviction, many times the harshest critics are friends, family and
co-workers. Let’s face it, a DUI conviction has a certain level of shame attached
to it.
Professionally
DUI convictions require extensive time in courtroom, treatment and screenings. With courthouses and treatment facilities operating on a 9-5 schedule it is highly likely you will miss some time from work to meet court appointed requirements.
Missing work for DUI business will only fan the gossip flames at work. If you are in a position of authority and are expected to operate from a high set of morals a DUI could be disastrous to your career. Although you may have never had a drink on the clock you could be suspected of it.
Any future job search could be compromised as many employers perform background checks on potential employees. You may be eliminated from the pool of candidates before you have the opportunity to demonstrate your competence.
Social Engagements
With the news of your DUI out it is possible that the organizations you volunteer with will find out. If the organization you volunteer with offers advice or guidance it is possible they could ask you to step down as they attempt to distance themselves from the negativity associated with a DUI conviction.
Personal Relationships
A DUI charge could create trust issues within your relationships, along with additional emotional and financial stress. A DUI could also have your children question your authority.
The most effective way to put the nightmare of a DUI
conviction behind you is to complete the court ordered screening, treatment and
education in a timely manner. Without completing the court ordered requirements
on time you will fall out of compliance with the courts and may receive much
harsher consequences. With Arizona DUI Services you can complete your
DUI/Alcohol Screening and Education all online. Our electronic platform allows
you to complete the screening and education at your convenience from a location
of your choice. Our platform will keep you from missing any work and help you
complete your education at your own pace. If you or someone you know is looking
to complete the court ordered DUI process contact Arizona DUI Services today at
602 882-4968 or at http://www.arizonaduiservices.com.
Fourth of July is approaching,
and while it is a fun holiday, we here at Arizona DUI Services want to give you
some safety tips to keep you and your loved ones safe and sound. There are a
lot of different activities families participate in on Independence Day, some
people like to cool off in the lakes, some folks like to party and barbeque,
and others like to watch and shoot off fireworks; so there are numerous safety
tips to cover.
The most iconic and probably
most popular activity on Independence Day is shooting off fireworks. It’s a
blast and is fun to do, but they can be extremely dangerous to you and your
family. You shouldn’t ever point a firework at a person, and that’s pretty
obvious. Although what many people don’t know is that they should never point
sparklers at people either; they are just as dangerous as fireworks. Only light
fireworks in dry, non-flammable areas. 50,000 fires occur every year because of
fireworks. Lighting multiple fireworks at once can be dangerous as well.
Lastly, never let younger children handle fireworks (ADT, 2019). An overlooked
area of safety on Fourth of July is protecting our furry friends. More pets are
lost on this one day than any other day of the year (Cision, 2015). To keep our
pets safe, it’s a good idea to get them inside. Animals are most likely going
to become anxious with large crowds around and loud fireworks going off. Put your
pet inside, in a secure room and then secure the rest of your property. Put
your fireworks up and away where your pets can’t reach them, the chemicals in
them could be fatal to our four-legged friends (ASPCA, 2019).
Another popular activity on
Independence Day is boating. While it is fun to go out on the lake, watch the
fireworks and have a good time, boating on Fourth of July can be dangerous.
More than one third of all boating accidents and fatalities in a year occur
during the Fourth of July and Labor Day holidays. When boating always wear a
life jacket. 80 percent of those who died in boating accidents were not wearing
life preservers. Many boaters go out on the water at night to watch fireworks,
so always test your navigation lights beforehand to prevent any crashes.
Prepare and stock up on any emergency supplies you may need, for example, a
flare. Always keep lookout for other boats and boaters to prevent an accident.
Before leaving the shore, make a plan with a friend on shore to keep track of
time and make sure the boat is back by a reasonable time. Keep track of all your
passengers in case one goes overboard. Lastly, alcohol should never be consumed
while operating the boat. Similar to a DUI, you could receive up to one year in
prison and up to a 100,000 dollar fine for driving a boat intoxicated (American
Boating Association, 2019).
Fourth of July is a great
holiday to party and celebrate our freedom, but that doesn’t mean we are free
to drink and drive. In 2015, 146 people were killed on Independence Day in
drunk driving accidents (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, n.d).
More beer is sold on the Fourth of July than any other holiday; so if you are
going to drink, don’t drive. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
says that 40 percent of the deaths in car accidents between 2007 and 2011
happened on the Fourth of July (Ellen Hall, 2019). The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration reported that those involved in fatal car accidents on
July 4, 2012, had higher impairment rates at night than those during the day
(Brett Snider, 2014).
This Independence Day pay
attention to your surroundings and be cognizant. Only you can keep you and your
loved ones safe.
In the state of Arizona operating any vehicle with a motor while intoxicated can result in a DUI offense. When the law says any motor vehicle it includes skateboards and bicycles (Comoreanu, 2017) however, the Arizona law does not directly address individuals simply riding a bike and a DUI offense is also a possibility. With that in mind, Arizona DUI Services
suggests you stay clear of operating any mode of transportation when you are intoxicated,
and instead get a ride home. After a night of drinking, we here at Arizona DUI Services have
some suggestions for you to get home.
Designated Drivers (DD)
The best
option when drinking is to have a Designated Driver. A DD is free and keeps your
social network together. Designated Drivers will save you from a potential DUI,
motor vehicle
accident or a potential manslaughter charge.
Ride Share Services
The benefit to
a ride share service is their convenience. Both Uber and Lyft have apps that
you can download
to your smart phone; making the process of securing and paying for a ride as simple as
opening the app. Also in most situations ride share services are less expensive
than a cab ride.
These ride sharing services are available throughout much of the state and
Arizona DUI Services suggests that you check availability in your area.
Up Hail helps
you save money on a ride share, taxi, or car services such as Uber, taxi, and
Lyft. Up Hail helps
riders & drivers find fare estimates, pricings, and rates for Uber, taxi,
and Lyft across the
country.

most establishments

vehicles.
Another great
way to get around while intoxicated is through Public Transit. Arizona offers a
couple
different versions of Public Transit through the Light Rail and buses. The
Light Rail on weekdays is
open and operating through 4:40 AM through 11 PM. Expect on Friday, where the service
stops at 2 AM. The Light Rail on weekends is operating through 5 AM to 11 PM. Expect on
Saturdays, where again the service stops at 2 AM. Bus availability varies, so
it’s best to check when
the next departures are. Check online here:
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a disorder in which a person is dependent upon alcohol and cannot control their drinking. People with AUD can also experience withdrawals when not drinking.

Felt a need to drink more alcohol to achieve similar effects that you once had with less amounts?
Had any
withdrawal symptoms from alcohol, like seizures, Delirium Tremors (DT)
insomnia, anxiety,
nausea, or a racing heart?
If you answered yes to any of these, you may have an Alcohol Use Disorder.

Based on statistical data,
mental health professionals have shown that holistic long- term care for those
with a substance use disorder (SUD) are producing positive outcomes similar to individuals with chronic illnesses (Office of the Surgeon General, 2016). Mental health professionals agree the most effective method to prevent substance use from progressing into a substance use disorder (SUD) is early intervention (Office of the Surgeon General, 2016). It is also widely known that individuals with a SUD that do not seek medical attention for their disorder but
will utilize health care for other reasons (Office of the Surgeon General,
2016). It is this knowledge
that has led many health care providers to actively utilize screenings as an intervention
tool in an effort to help identify if the individual is in the early stages of
addiction (Office of the
Surgeon General, 2016). With intervention being the most effective method in preventing
individuals from experiencing a SUD, it would be sensible to offer intervention
techniques,
resources and programs.
Intervention’s most powerful
instrument is education, which develops knowledge through
evidence-based information about drug and alcohol use and abuse (AZ Substance Abuse
Partnership, 2018). With a foundation of substance use knowledge established on
new found
skills in their daily lives they have the capacity to live healthy productive
lives. It is
important that
the information individuals are receiving to be comprehensive including
statistical data, early
signs and/or behaviors of addiction, the physiological effects of drugs and
alcohol and the
socioeconomical and relational consequences of addiction (Project Know, 2019).
The internet hosts
an unlimited amount of information on drugs and alcohol and it is very critical
to verify the
accuracy of the information by using multiple trusted sources.
One
resource available is Family First Intervention. Family First Intervention will help
families by providing a professional to help navigate the intervention by
ensuring the best interest
of the user is well maintained and communicated. It is important that the
family uses a
non-confrontational approach when engaging the user. Through the process of the
intervention the trained
counselor will determine the level of care the user will need. A common misconception
is that interventions are a ‘one size fits all’ approach. However, outcomes
will vary depending
on the user’s age, gender, ethnicity, culture and the disorder (AZ Substance Abuse
Partnership, 2018). In some instances, the desired outcome is for the user to
take responsibility
for the disorder before entering treatment; other times it is to ensure the
proper level of
treatment is accomplished (Family First Intervention, 2019).
Family First Intervention also
provides a Christian based intervention. Similarly, to the typical
intervention, Family First Intervention will provide a specialist however, this
specialist is familiar with a Christian approach. According to Family First
Intervention many Christian families are stuck in an inactive posture as they
struggle to identify what they and the user are accountable for. Family First
Intervention professionals will utilize scripture to bring clarity to the family
regarding responsibilities. The ultimate goal in the Christian based
intervention is to get the user to accept responsibility and help them restore
their faith (Family First Intervention, 2019).
