There are rehab programs available for DWI clients only, due to the nature of their crime and the need to meet certain obligations deemed by the legal system. If you've been convicted of a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very possible that you will be given the chance to go to rehab as opposed to other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which include alcohol abuse education, group meetings such as AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to participate in the above consequences and upon complying with specific requirements are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device in their car. There are rehab programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that is decided upon by the judge and very likely proposed as an alternative sentence by your attorney, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and it is your first or second DWI charge.
Drug rehabilitation programs in Maquoketa that treat DWI clients only abide by the instructions set forth by the courts and help clients meet all the requirements of their sentence and/or probation. In most instances offenders will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be regularly tested for drug and alcohol use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and be required to make regular appearances and check in with drug court, their probation officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than spending up to two years in jail.
