Michigan's Super Drunk Law

In the state of Michigan, it is illegal to drive with a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) over 0.08%, and according to the Michigan Vehicle Code Section 257.625, offenders could be sentenced with up to 93 days in jail, 6 month license suspension, fines up to $500, and other possible punishments for a first offense. A BAC of 0.17% or higher could lead to additional penalties under Michigan’s Super Drunk Law. Second and subsequent convictions will result in enhanced sentences, which can include longer jail terms, additional substance abuse treatment, and larger fines.

Substance Abuse Treatment After a Drunk Driving Conviction

After the trial process is complete, offenders are required to undergo an alcohol assessment to help determine the extent of their alleged alcohol problem. This alcohol assessment will consist of an extensive interview and an alcohol screening test, such as the MAST, or SASSI. The results from the alcohol assessment are taken into consideration when determining the offender’s final sentence. Alcohol abuse treatment is required for repeat offenders and if action is not taken, the offender may not be eligible for license reinstatement and could face other additional punishment.

Some counties in the state of Michigan have courts that specifically deal with alcohol related offenses. The offender will work with an assigned judge and prohibition officer to ensure maintained compliance. Grabel & Associates has experience working with Michigan Sobriety Court law and other sentencing options for repeat DUI offenders. Work with an attorney to ensure you are protected from wrongful conviction or unnecessary punishment.

Michigan Court Ordered Alcohol Abuse Treatment

Seeking treatment is often a good first step to getting back on the road. Seeking substance abuse treatment, whether court-ordered or not, shows a desire to cooperate with Michigan law, putting the defendant on track to regain driving privileges. Your DUI treatment could include an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program, meetings with a professional psychiatrist, or participation in a drug and alcohol class. An effective psychological evolution can help place the offender in the right rehabilitation program, after determining the category of the alcohol problem. Contact our firm to ensure you pick the right treatment for your unique situation, and let us help you fight to get a better result in your OWI case.

There are several categories of alcohol related problems, ranging from alcohol abuse to alcohol dependency, and an alcohol assessment can help determine the extent of the problem. Alcohol dependency has been defined as “harmful use” of alcohol, meaning that the offender has consumed liquor to the point of physical or mental harm. Alcohol dependency includes harmful usage, as well as additional addictive behaviors, such as withdrawal symptoms and the need to increase amounts consumed to achieve previous effects. Our lawyers can help guide you through this assessment process and will help you achieve the best possible results.

Completion of an alcohol treatment program may not be satisfactory to the DMV, but it does show a desire for personal and public safety. Drunk driving law in Michigan is very serious, making it important to contact a skilled defense attorney when you are facing a DUI/DWI charge. Starting treatment as soon as possible and obtaining a longer sobriety record will help you obtain a better outcome in your DUI case, so contact our Michigan law firm now.
