Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Purpose of Utah’s 24/7 Sobriety Program?
The 24/7 Sobriety Program in Utah is designed to keep DUI offenders accountable by requiring regular monitoring of sobriety, helping individuals kick the habit and enhancing public safety. Successfully staying sober in this program allows participants to avoid license suspension and jail time—two critical benefits under Utah DUI law.
Who is Eligible for the Utah 24/7 Sobriety Program?
Eligibility for the 24/7 Sobriety Program requires a certificate from the Utah Driver’s License Division. Your DUI defense attorney can request approval from both the prosecutor and judge to admit you into the program, whether your DUI involves alcohol or other substances like prescription drugs or illegal drugs.
How Does the 24/7 Sobriety Program Work?
Participants must either:
- Test twice daily at a county jail
- Wear an alcohol monitoring device (patch or bracelet), which continuously tracks and reports any alcohol consumption to both the court and jail.
Reinstating Your Driver’s License
To reinstate your driver’s license, you’ll need a court order verifying your admission into the 24/7 Sobriety Program and detailing your participation duration. Without reinstatement, you risk a permanent suspension.
What if I Can’t Test Twice Daily?
Out-of-state participants or those unable to visit a testing site twice daily may use a bracelet that provides continuous alcohol monitoring.
How Long Do I Have to Participate in the Program?
For a first-time DUI offense, you must participate for at least 30 days. Second and subsequent offenses require a minimum one-year commitment. Judges or prosecutors may mandate longer participation based on specific case factors.
