DUI Counseling & Screening

DUI counseling is a court- or MVD-required screening and education program for individuals charged with a DUI in Arizona. It combines a clinical assessment, state-approved education classes, and individual counseling sessions designed to satisfy Arizona court and Motor Vehicle Division requirements for license reinstatement.
Drug and alcohol screening for DUI is the required first step after a DUI or extreme DUI charge in Arizona. It’s a clinical assessment, not a punishment, that determines your level of care by covering the circumstances of your arrest, any prior offenses, and your current use of alcohol or other substances.
Most DUI counseling programs run several weeks, combining an initial screening, education classes, and individual sessions based on your specific court or MVD requirement. Your exact timeline depends on whether you’re facing a standard DUI, extreme DUI, or repeat offense.
Yes. Once you complete your DUI counseling program at Ahava Wellness Center, we submit your completion documentation directly to the court or MVD on your behalf.
Yes. Ahava Wellness Center serves clients throughout Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, and the greater Maricopa County area from our Central Phoenix office.

Court-Ordered Counseling

Court-ordered counseling is a structured counseling program required by an Arizona court, typically following a charge unrelated to a DUI. It includes a confidential intake, an assessment of your specific situation, and a program tailored to what the court has required.
Bring your court order or referral paperwork, a photo ID, insurance information if applicable, and any questions you have about scheduling, cost, or your specific requirement.
Yes. What you share during intake and counseling is confidential, with narrow legal exceptions your counselor will explain, even though the counseling itself is court-mandated.

Substance Abuse Counseling

Substance abuse counseling is an ongoing, session-by-session process that helps people understand the patterns connected to substance use and build practical tools for long-term recovery, rather than a single one-time intervention.
