What Happens When a Doctor Gets a DUI
Drinking and driving is never a good idea. But did you know that it can have career-damaging consequences? If you are a doctor convicted of a DUI, you could lose your license to practice.
Most states will require you to undergo such an evaluation if convicted of drunk driving. It usually involves a substance abuse screening to determine the extent of your involvement with alcohol or drugs.
Cornerstone DUI has helped hundreds of Arizona residents meet the requirements for their DUI charges.
We provide comprehensive DUI assessments that determine your educational needs when it comes to DUI. All therapists are licensed and registered in the state of Arizona.
Our meetings are done via Zoom but can be done in person at our Scottsdale, Arizona offices, if requested.
A DUI assessment can be anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Our therapists usually spend about 15-30 minutes on each assessment, going through a list of very specific questions.
The primary focus of a DUI assessment is to get a solid understanding of your substance use and the consequences that have come along with the usage. Please expect to be asked questions about the substance(s) you use, how long you've used the substance(s), how often you use it, and the consequences you've had because of your use.
You will also be asked about the nature of the DUI charges against you currently. While this might be uncomfortable, please know that all communications are confidential, and this is done to help determine how many hours of DUI education is necessary.
Bring a paper and pen to jot down notes if you'd like, other than that, just be prepared to answer questions and try to find a quiet place to meet with our assessment therapist.

If you have access to Zoom on your smartphone device and have a working front camera, then yes, the assessment can be done via mobile.
You may have the right to withdraw from or refuse to answer questions during a DUI evaluation. You can also request a second opinion from another evaluator or reject the results of the evaluation. However, doing so could harm your eligibility for diversion programs and negatively affect your DUI sentence or probation opportunities. To make an informed decision, you should talk to a legal professional beforehand to understand all possible consequences.

Arizona’s new expungemnent law allows those with qualifying criminal records to rebuild their lives and start fresh. But what does this mean for DUI offenders?
DUI charges may be dropped to a reckless driving charge if certain conditions are met. If a first-time offender commits a DUI, it can be dropped by attending educational classes and/or getting regularly tested for a specified period.
