What Happens After a DUI in Maricopa County? Treatment and Education Options

The First Steps After a DUI

Receiving a DUI in Maricopa County can be overwhelming. You may face court dates, license issues, fines, and mandatory treatment or education requirements. Understanding the process can help you respond proactively and minimize long-term consequences.

At Safe House Wellness & Health, we help individuals in Tempe and across the Phoenix metro area complete DUI screening, education, and treatment.

Court and ADOT/MVD Requirements

After a DUI, you may be required to:

• Complete an ADOT/MVD-approved DUI screening.

• Attend DUI education classes for a specified number of hours.

• Participate in DUI treatment if recommended by your screening or ordered by the court.

• Provide proof of completion to the court, probation, or MVD.

Your exact requirements depend on the offense, your record, and decisions made by the court and ADOT/MVD.

DUI Screening: The Starting Point

The DUI screening is typically your first step. It:

• Reviews your current DUI and previous incidents.

• Assesses your substance use history.

• Recommends the number of hours of education or treatment you must complete.

Choosing an approved provider such as Safe House Wellness & Health in Tempe ensures that your screening meets state requirements.

DUI Education and Treatment Options

Following your screening, you may need:

• DUI education classes: Focused on the impact of alcohol and drugs on driving, decision-making, and legal consequences.

• DUI treatment services: More intensive care for individuals with higher risk or multiple DUIs, often integrated with mental health and substance use treatment.

We provide both services and align them with your court and MVD requirements whenever possible.

Getting Organized and Meeting Deadlines

To stay on track after a DUI:

• Keep all court and MVD paperwork organized.

• Mark deadlines for screening and class completion.

• Contact a provider promptly to schedule services.

• Communicate with your attorney or probation officer about your progress.

Safe House Wellness & Health provides documentation of screening, education, and treatment completion, which you can use to show that you have met your obligations.
