Articles DUIs - Not Just for AlcoholicsArrests for driving under the influence don't just happen to people with a drinking problem.
 You don't have to have a drinking problem to drive drunk. We're all capable of exercising bad judgment. In California alone there are more than 175,000 DUI arrests per year.
While those with a drinking problem are prone to get behind the wheel regularly while intoxicated, there are also those who had a few drinks with friends and then made the poor choice to drive home instead of calling a cab. They are two different groups, but when that cop car pulls you over, anyone with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit is viewed the same.
You don't have to be an alcoholic to get a DUI. In fact, if you're not, it makes you at lower risk to reoffend.
That's where alternative sentencing comes in. The facts show that the majority of those arrested for DUI are not addicts. In fact, more than half are first offenders who are not going to repeat. Having someone on your side who can make this case in court is vitally important. It can mean the difference between jail time and treatment.
Of course, everyone wants to think they fall into that category and obviously not all do. But for those who are truly at a low risk to reoffend and don't have an addiction, alternative sentencing can be a lifesaver. It involves working with you to get counseling instead of jail time for substance-related offenses.
