Understand the New York DWI alcohol drug evaluation process

- 18.51


Due to the following three reasons, there is a possibility that drug / alcohol screening / evaluation has to be done for the arrest of New York DWI.

1. When BAC (blood alcohol concentration) at arrest (measured by breath test) is BAC 0.15 or higher, NYS law requires alcohol / drug screening and evaluation.

2. It is often beneficial to provide a lawyer with a drug / alcohol assessment before negotiating a plea to your defense team. The result of the evaluation is (a) that your action on the night of your arrest was not a pattern of alcohol abuse behavior but a single event, or (b) you can indicate that you are currently selecting Actively address problems related to your drug and alcohol use.

3. Alcohol screening / evaluation is part of DMV 's DDP (Drinking Driver Program) and must be done to obtain conditional driver' s license. This applies regardless of whether your final plea is in DWAI, DWI, or ADWI. Completion of the program is based on follow-through of treatment recommendations made by OASAS (Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services) certified provider. They have an excellent website to locate your local provider, just register OASAS with Google.

Have Three things It must be done before alcohol screening / evaluation:

1: It is available online to relieve your fears and give you a good idea of ​​the type of screening question to be asked if you should read MAST (Michigan Alcohol Screening Test). In the DDP program, alcohol screening is a questionnaire / form to judge whether further evaluation / evaluation by a provider is necessary or not.

two: You must be prepared to be honest and truthful to the evaluator. If alcohol or drug is the reason for your current criminal charges, it is important for your long-term health and well-being that its underlying cause is resolved.

Caution: The Dawi's recidivism rate is very low (about 3-4%), and during the influence of drugs and substances the risk from your second stage of driving to yourself and others may be considerably greater there is. In NYS, the second DWI arrest is an E class crime within 10 years, the prosecution is seeking imprisonment for 1 to 3 years.

three: You must be ready to follow all recommended treatments. You have the right to get a second evaluation / opinion. This second alcohol assessment and final result is binding. The court wishes to prove the completion of the recommended and evaluated treatment program. If you receive a CD (conditional exit) from the court, this is one of the conditions for that exit. If you can not meet the conditions of the court, your case will be resumed and your trial will be deemed to have violated the order of the court.

If your alcohol assessment shows a clean conclusion "Do not recommend treatment", why a lawyer needs a prosecution period as a condition of final judgment on a prosecutor (assistant · degree · actyney) It helps to indicate whether or not. This report without this evaluation report may be reduced to "normal" BACs, probably exceeding 0.08 DWI, by asking attorneys for BW ADWI (weighted DWI) claims of 18 or higher.

In this article, I hope to introduce some of the things necessary for the DWI alcohol evaluation process.
