If you will be convicted for your DUI charge in Hialeah, Florida or if you bargain a plea, your sentence would probably include a combination of classes and group therapy. Depending on the type of your DUI conviction, the length of time of the DUI program would vary. But before you agree or request for a program, you must learn more about your options. You have to read your plea bargain or sentencing agreement because you would find most of the information about the length of your program right there. The standard classroom requirements would be 30 to 42 hours and your entire program, including therapy, may stretch more than a year.

You can call the program you’re interested in to find out the length and price of the course. You may be assigned to a particular facility or they’ll let you choose. You can also check with the court or county clerk’s office upon the completion of your DUI program to verify that you completed all the necessary steps, paid any outstanding fees and filed the needed paperwork to close out your program. Aside from the DUI program, you also have to worry about your car insurance so don’t forget to get a quote from this website in case you need a new provider.
