The impact of your DUI can be far reaching if unaddressed. Consider the following:
Is your DUI part of a bigger problem with alcohol?
Do you privately wonder if you should seek help?
Has your drinking caused you other problems besides your DUI?
If you answered “yes”, you may have an alcohol problem- and you’re not alone. Over 14,000,000 Americans meet the diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders.
There are private and public programs for people with recurring alcohol related issues, and many tie their treatment programs in with an alternative to jail time- something you may not have considered.
“Alternative sentencing” programs involve serving your sentence by doing something besides going to jail, and may include participation in drug or alcohol rehabilitation, performing community service, work release programs, electronic monitoring and house arrest programs.
A judge may impose one or more of the alternative sentencing programs when he or she believes it to be appropriate to the crime - and DUI often qualifies.
