Why you should complete the ADIS class immediately after a DUI arrest

If you have been arrested for a first offense DUI and have never been in trouble with the law before, then you probably have no idea what to do next. One of the most important things you can do besides contacting a DUI attorney is to start and complete the ADIS class.

The ADIS class or Alcohol and Drug Information School is typically the only level of treatment recommended after a first offense DUI drug and alcohol evaluation. It is important to note that the evaluation cannot be completed without the police report, so it is highly likely that you will not be able to do so immediately after a DUI arrest, since you will not have it. But the ADIS class can be completed without the assessment and you can register when your schedule is free. So why is it important to do this immediately after a DUI arrest?

You will first be prompted to do this anyway. So why not do it ahead of time? It will be one less thing to worry about. Believe it or not, by doing this ahead of time, you will feel less stressed about the incident and hopefully start to feel better about the criminal case.

Second, when the time comes for your DUI attorney to negotiate with the Prosecutor by doing the ADIS long before the Judge imposed it, it will show the Prosecutor that you are not only taking this seriously, but you are being proactive. about. Most defendants in a criminal case are reluctant to the conditions imposed by the court. Pay the fine, do community service hours, etc. Showing the prosecutor that you are not one of those people will only help you in the long run.

Lastly, it will help you when it comes time for your alcohol and drug evaluation. The counselor will most likely be impressed that he took the ADIS class prior to the assessment. He will show them that you recognize that this incident was a mistake and that you are trying your best to rectify it. In the end, they’ll be more likely to only recommend the one-day class as a treatment if you’ve already completed it.

In conclusion, if you have been arrested for a DUI, it is in your best interest to complete the ADIS class as soon as possible. It is an all day class, usually on Saturdays, but it will be very helpful in your criminal case.
