If you’re facing a Super Extreme DUI in Arizona
One-tier reductions from Super Extreme DUI to Extreme DUI carry two compounding benefits beyond the headline 5-day jail savings. The IID term drops from 18 months to 12 months, which moves the sealing clock forward by six months. The fine tier drops from the highest C1M level to the second-highest, which can cut $500 or more from the fine package depending on assessments.
The 9-day total custody structure (2 days in jail plus 7 days continuous alcohol monitoring) is the minimum required for Extreme DUI. Continuous alcohol monitoring is served outside of physical custody and allows the client to maintain employment, family responsibilities, and routine life during the monitoring period.
