There are programs offered for DWI clients only, on account of the type of their offense and the need to fulfill specific obligations deemed by the courts. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very likely that you will be given the chance to receive rehab instead of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehab programs which consist of classes, group meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to participate in the aforementioned sentences and upon meeting certain requirements are even allowed to drive with a monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are rehab programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be determined by the judge and very likely proposed as a solution by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is only your first or second DWI charge.
Drug and Alcohol recovery programs in Bode that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines demanded by the courts and help clients comply with all the demands of their sentence and/or probation/parole. In most instances offenders will have to plead guilty to their charge, and will be randomly tested for drug and alcohol use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make regular appearances and check in with the courts, their probation/parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than spending up to two years in jail.
