How do I know if I’m considered a habitual offender?

Under section 303 of the Michigan Vehicle Code [the Code; MCL 257.303] certain combinations of alcohol and/or drug-related convictions lead to a presumption that a person is a "habitual offender." The law requires the Secretary of State to revoke that person's driver license. The law also requires the Secretary of State to deny a license for that person until he or she meets certain conditions.

What to Know About Substance Abuse Evaluations in Michigan

License revoked?

Need help getting your license reinstated?

GLG Michigan can help you and explain every step of this complicated process. We provide you with outlines, forms, and referrals to begin the application procedure.  As for the SAE, we have relationships with licensed therapists throughout the State of Michigan to whom we may refer you for this evaluation.   

Important points to remember about the SAE:

First, it must be a true SUBSTANCE evaluation, and not just an ALCOHOL evaluation. 

Second, it must include and attach all testing instruments used in the assessment, including the toxicology screen (with proper variables) and any MAST/SASSI scoring information.

Third, it must provide detailed information about the applicant’s abstinence, relapse and treatment history. 

Fourth, it must provide both a proper diagnosis and prognosis for continued sobriety.

What is a “Substance Abuse Evaluation”?

If you’ve been convicted of multiple drunk driving offenses, especially in a short period of time, your Michigan Driver’s License has likely been REVOKED. This means you must apply for the reinstatement of your license, and must jump through several “hoops” to get your license back.  The first step in the reinstatement process—and perhaps the single most important “hoop” to jump through—is getting a Substance Abuse Evaluation (“SAE”) done.
