MVD Alcohol Screening in Arizona
You’re Stronger Than This Moment, and We’re Here to Guide You Through It
Moving Forward After a DUI
After a DUI, the questions pile up fast. What happens next? How long will this last? What do I need to do?
The good news is, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. To address the license suspension, an ADOT alcohol screening is the first and most important step to moving forward. Completing it quickly helps you get your license back sooner.
Our DUI Alcohol Screening serves two purposes. The first is to help you obtain your MVD Restricted Driver’s License, and the second purpose is to determine how many hours of DUI Education/Treatment you’ll need to complete IF you’re convicted of your DUI.
More importantly, you’ll be able to keep your job, your routine, and your peace of mind.
At Stonewall DUI Services, we simplify the process so you don’t lose more than you already have. We’ve done it many times for others, and we know exactly what it takes to get you back on track. We don’t judge and are committed to helping make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

How MVD Alcohol Screening in Arizona Works
Ready to undergo DUI screening to reinstate license, but not sure about how the process works? We can help.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how the ADOT alcohol screening process lays out:
Step 1. Confirm Your Requirement
If your license has been suspended after a DUI arrest, confirm your requirement by checking your notice from the MVD, looking at your ADOT account online, or calling the Motor Vehicle Division directly.
If a screening is required, it must be completed before you can apply for a restricted or reinstated license.
Step 2. Schedule With an ADHS-Licensed Provider
Only providers licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services, like Stonewall DUI Services, can conduct screenings accepted by the MVD. Schedule with us online in minutes for same-day or next-day appointments.
Step 3. Complete the Screening Interview
Your appointment usually takes 30–45 minutes. A qualified professional will ask about your driving history, alcohol use, and the circumstances of the DUI.
Once completed, we submit the results electronically to the MVD, so you don’t have to worry about delays.
Step 4. Take the Next Step Toward Your License
Based on your results, you may become eligible for an MVD Restricted Driver’s License right away. If education or treatment hours are required, we’ll explain exactly what’s needed so you can complete them quickly and keep moving forward.
The faster you complete your alcohol screening, the faster you can move forward. Most screenings take less than an hour.
MVD Alcohol Screening vs. Court-Ordered Screening: What’s the Difference?
While they sound similar, they serve different purposes and are required by different authorities. Let’s talk about it
MVD Alcohol Screening
Required by the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD)
Needed to apply for a Restricted Driver’s License or reinstate full driving privileges
Completed through an ADHS-licensed provider (like Stonewall DUI Services)
Focused on license reinstatement and determining potential education/treatment needs
Court-Ordered Screening
Required by the Court handling your DUI case
Part of the sentencing requirements if convicted of DUI
Also completed through an ADHS-licensed provider, but reported to the court instead of the MVD
Focused on accountability, compliance with court orders, and treatment/education assignment
In short: The MVD screening is about your driving privileges, while the court-ordered screening is about meeting your legal obligations. Most cases would require both.
