How do I get my license back after serving a 90 day suspension for DUI?
I was charged with a DUI back in 04/08; I pled guilty to the DUI on 11/29/10. As my sentence I received 60 days non-monitored in home detention and $700 court costs. That’s all. Does my sentence have any bearing on what I have to do to get my license back? The DMV is no help in this matter and I don’t know who to contact that would know for sure.

Yes, it has some bearing on the matter but from what I understand Colorado has additional requirements as well. In other words, you have to fulfill all the requirements of your sentence, then you have to fill out an application, pay a fee and, depending on the offense - first time, second time, your age, etc., - then you may have additional programs to complete. The date or your arrest was very far in time from the date of your pleading guilty. Too bad that you did not do the applicable programs in the meantime so that you could have been done with them and applied now. But here is a link to the reinstatement information. Good luck.
