Justice Services Inc is an independant company that is employed by the Arizona department of health services. This company is supposed to operate as a drug / alcohol & abuse counciling service. I had met with them on 10-17-06 to have an alcohol assesment completed for an out of state DUI, in order to have my drivers licens reinstated. They're recomendation was that I attend counciling for 65 hours. They based the findings on a breath test from my 1st and only DUI in Wisconsin. The 65 hours of counciling I have to attend is going to cost $575, and take months to complete. This is not only extreme punishment for a first offense, it's criminal. The questionare that I had to fill out as part of the assesment was set up so that anyone that fills it out will fail and have to attend some kind of treatment. This was pretty obvious when I questioned the the interviewer he made it clear that If you have 1 drink a week you are a borderline alcoholic and two drinks a week and you need treatment. Seem a little extreme? If you take asprin for pain they classify you as a drug abuser. My reason for coming here is that I have a few unanswered questions of my own.
1: Why am I Paying a company that is employed by and paid by the State of Arizona for treatment.
2: Why are they're standards for alcoholism 3 times lower than actual state law.
3: If every one that walks through the door of Justice Services
is forced into treatment, where is all that money going?
