MASSACHUSETTS
General Information:
Following
conviction, all offenders receive a mandatory alcohol
assessment/evaluation to determine the nature and extent
of their alcohol problems. The offender pays a surcharge
for 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 under the direction of the probation office.
Treatment
for repeat offenders is mandatory on a second offense. All
offenders are required to attend alcohol education or
treatment as recommended by the assessment.
Offenders
failing to comply with the terms of their program are not
eligible for license reinstatement and may be returned to
the court for further action.
Massachusetts
has a dedicated detention and treatment facility, Longwood
Treatment Center, a minimum–security detention facility
that targets the hardcore drunk driver.
BEWARE: Completing an alcohol program may not satisfy the Registry of Motor Vehicles. That is just one reason why it is critical that you consult with a lawyer in your area that concentrates on DUI / DWI defense.
