DUI / DWI EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN NEW YORK STATE
General Information and Locations Throughout New York State
Following conviction, all 1st offenders attending the Drinking Driver Program and all repeat offenders receive a mandatory alcohol assessment/evaluation to determine the nature and extent of their alcohol problems for license reinstatement.
The assessment is conducted post-sentencing and the individual does not return to court for final sentencing based on assessment in some locations.
Assessments are conducted by a state-certified private agency. The cost is $175 for 1st offenders as part of the Drinking Driver program and is variable for other offenders.
Evaluations to determine if treatment is necessary for all repeat DWI offenders are mandatory for re-licensing. The offenders are required to attend alcohol education or treatment as recommended by the assessment.
New York has dedicated detention and treatment facilities that target the hardcore drunk driver in Suffolk County.
BEWARE: Completing an alcohol program may not satisfy the DMV. That is just one reason why it is critical that you consult with a lawyer in your area, such as Ronald Meltzer, that concentrates on DUI / DWI defense.
There is no cost or obligation for a consultation with NY DWI Attorney Ronald Meltzer. Call 212-822-1443, or e-mail Rmeltzer@NycDwiLaw.com , or click here for our Free DWI Consultation Form to submit to our office.
In most states, a drunk driving conviction (whether DUI, DWI, or a reduced charge, such as a "wet reckless") will result in the requirement that the offender take an alcohol education program. In many states, even if the court does not require the alcohol education program, the Department of Motor Vehicles will, in order to regain driving privileges.
The length of the program, and specific program requirements, will vary for a first offense DUI or DWI, second offense DUI or DWI, or third offense DUI or DWI.
