ALCOHOL EDUCATION & THERAPY PROGRAMS
                Alcohol Education and Therapy Treatment Agencies - DUI Local Class List - State Certified
                Alcohol Education - Underage Consumption or Possession of Alcohol
                
        aka MIP - Minor in Possession - Non Driving Offenses

In this attorney's experience
 
Level 1 alcohol education is not likely unless the BAC is below or very near .100 + no aggravating factors
regardless of the above DOH Level 1 guideline, courts infrequently grant Level 1 Education
 
Level 2 alcohol education without therapy is possible up to BAC 0.15 - 0.17 + no aggravating factors
the court reviews the probation department alcohol evaluation, but retains discretion

Driving in Colorado is a constitutionally protected privilege, but nevertheless a privilege which may be lost.  Multiple statutes can cause loss of driving privileges for different driver behavior.  Drivers are entitled to a DMV hearing.  In some circumstances the right to hearing precedes potential DMV adverse action; under other Colorado traffic laws the adverse order is entered, then the driver is provided notice of the adverse action and right to request subsequent hearing.  If hearing has been held or a DMV final order has otherwise entered and the Colorado driver's license or Colorado driving privileges have been suspended, revoked or denied, the driver's remaining recourse is appeal to the District Court.  DMV appeal is subject to a statute of limitations.  Right to appeal may be lost if the driver delays.  Upon final order in the District Court, either party make take the case on appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals.  Refer to links for information.
