There are programs offered for DWI clients only, due to the nature of their violation and the need to carry out specific requirements demanded by the legal system. If you've been charged with a non-violent substance abuse related crime, it is very possible that you will be given the chance to receive rehab as opposed to other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which include alcohol classes, group counseling such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to participate in the above sentences and upon complying with certain requirements are even allowed to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are programs that are inpatient and cater specifically to DWI offenders. This will usually be something that would be determined by the judge and commonly proposed as an option by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and it is only your first or second offense.
Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs in Decatur that treat DWI clients only follow the instructions required by the courts and help offenders comply with all the demands of their sentence and/or probation/parole. In most instances individuals will have to plead guilty to their charge, and will be regularly tested for substance use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make frequent 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.
