Drug & Alcohol Treatment Options
Tennessee DUI Lawyer: Exploring the Treatment Option
Substance Abuse Counseling · Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
"It's my policy: before I will take money from a client who is charged with a second offense DUI, I recommend that they seek an assessment for substance abuse and dependency. If it's a third offense, that recommendation becomes a requirement. I want to help people who will let me help them. If this resonates with you, just give me a call. I won't lecture you; I will help you." — Paul E. Lewis
A conviction on a second DUI offense carries a mandatory 45 day jail sentence. By attending an inpatient drug or alcohol treatment program, an experienced DUI defense attorney can help you reduce that sentence by 28 days. Some people charged with drunk driving pursue the treatment option for purely strategic reasons.
There is another way to evaluate the treatment option. Paul E. Lewis encourages his clients to take an honest look at the circumstances leading up to a DUI arrest, and to be willing to seek help if it is needed. Mr. Lewis has the professional experience and personal commitment to his clients' well-being that allows him to be both an accomplished legal advocate and a source of personal support for clients interested in looking at any treatment option, including:
- Inpatient or outpatient treatment programs
- Addiction counseling
- Alcohol monitoring
- Private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities
