Vega Counseling & DUI Services

Do I need a DUI Screening?

You can call the MVD to ask if there is a DUI Screening requirement attached to your license. 
If the DUI charges were dropped/dismissed, MVD may still require the Screening. Sometimes the MVD doesn't require the Screening but the Court may order you to have one completed. 

​

My DUI was pled down to Reckless Driving, do I still need a Screening?

If your Reckless Driving charge was pled down from a DUI or the Reckless Driving charge is related to substance use, you may still need a DUI Screening. Calling the MVD is the best way to find out if a Screening is required. 

​

How long does the DUI Screening take?

Most assessments take about 30 minutes. More complicated cases may take the full hour.

​

How soon will I get my results?

The Provider will email you the results within 72 hours.

​

How will I know what I have to do/what the recommendations are for treatment/education?

The recommendations for education and/or treatment will be listed on your results summary. A list of resources of where you can take the DUI classes and treatment providers will be provided with your results.

​

What do I need to bring to the appointment?

Your driver’s license number, violation date, and remainder of the service fee owed. The violation date is the specific day you were pulled over/arrested/got into an accident, etc. Completion of the Screening cannot be reported to the MVD or Court without the violation date.

​

Why do I need to pay a deposit to book an appointment?

A deposit is required to ensure that you show up for the appointment. If you do not show up that is a space that could have been used for someone else. Most DUI Screening providers require a deposit.

​

Do I need a Revocation Evaluation or a DUI Screening or both?

If your license has been revoked due to substance use (not just suspended) you need a Revocation Evaluation. If you are unsure what is needed you can call the MVD. 

​

Will I have to do counseling or take classes after the Screening?

The Screening determines if you have any problems with substances and to what extent. The minimum requirement is 16 hours of DUI Education. You may also need to complete substance use counseling depending on the results of your Screening.

​

Why should I choose Vega over other service providers?

Other online providers tend to have a longer waiting list while Vega can usually schedule your appointment within a week. Screening Provider Erika Keller has been in recovery since January 2018 and understands substance use on a deeper level; she has also been through the DUI process herself and understands the frustrations of the process.

​

Can I do the recommended substance use counseling with Vega?

Yes, Vega is permitted to accept counseling referrals from DUI Screenings.

​

Will the MVD and/or Court accept Vega's 16-Hour DUI Class?
Yes. Vega's 16-Hour DUI Education Course is certified by the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Arizona MVD.
