Get an Evaluation to SEE IF YOU HAVE A DRINKING/DRUG PROBLEM
Get an evaluation to see if you have a problem with alcohol and/or drugs sooner rather than later.
You should get an evaluation from a State certified agency. Not all evaluations are created equally, some of these agencies will want you to have more treatment than others simply because you have had a DUI. You should get an independent evaluation of your real situation. While you want to move quickly on getting an evaluation, you also want to talk to an lawyer and get a good referal to an agency that fits your needs. The recommendation could be anything from an 8 hour class to full inpatient care depending on your situation. It is important to have control over alcohol use and to never let it have control over you. Remember old drunks are no fun.

The officer that arrested you will have taken the time to write down every detail he or she can remember about your arrest for later. You should do the same incase any irregularities come up later. Think of every detail of the hours before and after your incident. This information could be very valuable later in your defense.
