Recovery is more than just treating your addiction to drugs or alcohol. Recovery includes detoxing from negative emotions, bad choices, and mistakes that can stem from a physical addiction. It is common for individuals who are going through the recovery process to have a criminal record. A criminal record can feel disabling since a record does not just disappear. A criminal record can keep you from obtaining a loan for a new car, applying for a new job, or even make it impossible to own or rent housing. We believe along with recovering physically and emotionally — you should also be able to receive a second, third, or even fourth chance in the eyes of the law. The Clean Slate Sobriety workshop is for just that, to allow you to clean your record and find a fresh start.   

What is Clean Slate Sobriety?

Clean Slate Sobriety is a workshop designed to help those in recovery with a criminal history clear their record and find a fresh start. 

The workshop begins with an overview on criminal law in Arizona with a special emphasis on drug and alcohol related offenses. This is followed by a guided group exercise to help participants brainstorm and identify supporting reasons to have criminal courts set- aside or “expunge” their records and restore their rights.

Finally, we walkthrough and review your personal case with step-by-step assurance in addressing pending case problems or completing necessary forms, paperwork, and set-aside motion for past convictions. 

Workshops last between 1.5 to 2 hours with time for general questions and answers related to criminal law and how to work through pending cases available.
