16-Hour Alcohol & Drug Education
The standard first-offense requirement. Covers substance effects, risk, legal consequences, harm reduction, and next-step planning. Self-paced online, telehealth, or in-person.
A court requirement can feel overwhelming — the hours, the paperwork, the deadlines, the fear of what happens if something gets missed. AES walks with you, every step. Our team handles the clinical work, the documentation, and the communication with the court. You focus on moving forward.
AES was built on a simple idea: people who walk through our doors after a court order aren't case numbers. They're partners, parents, children, neighbors — and they are often going through the hardest stretch of their life. Our team of master-level clinicians meets every client with dignity, respect, and the quiet belief that real change is possible. Always.
This is why clients finish our programs and tell us they got more out of them than they expected. Because accountability and compassionate care can — and should — form the foundation of effective treatment.
Every court-mandated path through AES follows the same clear arc. Here's exactly what to expect.
Call, email, or schedule online. Our intake coordinator listens, asks the right questions, and lays out your path in plain language.
A 60-minute clinical interview with validated assessment tools determines exactly which program the court requires — 16, 36, 56, or 108 hours.
You leave the screening with a written plan: hours, timeline, schedule options, and a single point of contact you can call anytime.
In-person, telehealth, or self-paced online — whatever fits your life. We stay in touch and flag anything that needs your attention with the court.
On completion, the court-ready certificate is sent directly to your attorney, probation officer, or the court with your consent. Compliance done.
Your screening — not the arresting officer, not your attorney, not AES — determines the exact number of hours the court and MVD require. Every tier is state-approved at AES, delivered by master-level clinicians, and documented for court.
The standard first-offense requirement. Covers substance effects, risk, legal consequences, harm reduction, and next-step planning. Self-paced online, telehealth, or in-person.

Arizona's most intensive outpatient tier. Comprehensive Level I program for the most serious cases — sustained clinical engagement and continuity of care.
You shouldn't have to become an expert in court documentation to finish a requirement. That's our job. With your consent, we handle the communication at every step.
Clinician + client at a table, court docs between them, warm natural light. Profile or over-shoulder for privacy.
See SHOT-LIST.md · Aspect 4:5AES believes a court requirement should never be made harder by a cost barrier. That's why we accept most major insurance plans, offer payment plans at no interest, and have a sliding-scale option for clients who qualify. Call us, tell us your situation, and we'll find a way forward.
AES handles every step the court or MVD asks of you — initial screening, clinical evaluation, the education or treatment hours you're assigned, and the court-ready certificate at completion. With your consent we send documentation directly to your attorney, probation officer, or the court. You don't have to manage the paperwork alone.
Your DUI/alcohol screening is the starting point. Arizona sets your hours based on screening results, BAC at arrest, prior history, and whether the case involved property damage or injury. First offenses are usually 16 hours of education. Extreme (BAC 0.15+), aggravated, or repeat cases can require 36, 56, or 108 hours of Level I treatment.
Most clients begin their assessed program or treatment plan within 24 to 48 hours of initial contact. Same-day screenings are available when court or MVD deadlines are pressing.
