First or subsequent offence should not really affect your eligibility for a treatment program. But you are being wise and prudent to seek one out as a result of this event. Check with your health insurer to see what programs they will cover. In Madison, some of the providers often used are Journey, NewStart and Tellurian. There are others.

There are no diversions programs for a DUI. But you may be able to have the DUI reduced to a wet or dry reckless, depending on the facts surrounding your arrest. Consult with an experienced criminal defense/DUI attorney as soon as possible.

Generally not in Michigan.

There is no such thing as a diversion program for DUI. You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

No. But if you fight it you can get it reduced or possibly dismissed.
