There are treatment services accessible for DWI clients only, because of the type of their crime and the requirement to fulfill certain requirements demanded by the legal system. If you're charged with a non-violent substance abuse related crime, it is very possible that you will be given the opportunity to receive rehab in lieu of other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are treatment programs which include alcohol abuse education, group meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to take part in the aforementioned consequences and upon meeting specific requirements are even allowed to drive with a monitoring device in their vehicle. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be decided upon by the judge and very likely presented as an option by your attorney, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is only your first DWI charge.
Drug and Alcohol treatment programs in Knoxville that treat DWI clients only abide by the guidelines set forth by the courts and help offenders meet all the demands of their sentence and/or probation. In most instances individuals will have to plead guilty to their charge, and will be frequently tested for drug and alcohol use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make frequent appearances and check in with drug court, their probation/parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
