The OUIL III program aims at reducing recidivism among OUIL III offenders through the use of structured sentencing and accountability. Defendants in custody are required to undergo an alcohol assessment administered by the Oakland County Office of Substance Abuse Services Personnel. The assessment provides a diagnosis as well as a recommended level of care, which is forwarded to the Probation Department for incorporation into the Pre-Sentence Report (PSR).
Defendants with SGL scores of 0-12 may be sentenced up to 90 days in jail with work release if eligible. Offenders with SGL scores of up to 0-18 may receive up to 180 days in jail with work release if eligible. Upon release from jail the defendant will:
participate in treatment as determined by the assessment either Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Outpatient, or Education
All defendants charged of OUIL III and whose sentence guidelines score (SGL) is 0-18 months or less
Cost
Defendant is responsible for the cost of drug/alcohol testing and counseling, if imposed. However, no defendant will be denied due to lack of financial resources. Funding will be available through Community Corrections for those needing assistance.
