LOUISIANA
General Information:
Following
conviction, all offenders with high BAC levels receive a
mandatory alcohol assessment/evaluation to determine the
nature and extent of their alcohol problems. The offender
pays the cost of the assessment.
The
assessment is conducted post-trial but pre-sentencing. The
court takes the results of the assessment into
consideration in final sentencing.
Assessments
are conducted by a state administrative agency specialist,
or by a private agency at the direction of the court.
Treatment
is mandated for repeat offenders based on medical
evaluation and recommendations that the offender will
benefit from such treatment.
Offenders
failing to comply with the terms of their program may be
returned to the court for further action and risk having
incarceration sentences re-imposed.
Louisiana
does not have dedicated detention and treatment facilities
that target the hardcore drunk driver.
BEWARE: Completing an alcohol program may not satisfy the DMV. That is just one reason why it is critical that you consult with a lawyer in your area that concentrates on DUI / DWI defense.
