Alcohol dependency is the hidden cause behind many drunk driving offenses.

Alcoholism and DUI Defense
While alcoholism alone is not a defense to a DUI, taking the initiative to admit a problem and seek treatment can help to minimize the penalties associated with your DUI charge. There are a number of approved recovery programs that the court may take into account when sentencing you. Our attorneys can help you explore all of your options and alternatives when seeking alcohol rehabilitation. There are in-patient options that allow you to receive treatment during a 30-day program. Sometimes, the time served in a recovery program instead can be credited against jail time.
In addition to seeking in-patient care or a therapeutic housing unit or sober living environment (work at your job during the day and return to program housing at night), you can begin to attend AA meetings or night classes. This will demonstrate to the court that you are taking a vested interest in your own recovery and your situation.
