There are rehab programs offered for DWI clients only, due to the type of their crime and the requirement to satisfy specific obligations demanded by the courts. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug related offense, it is very possible that you could be given the opportunity to receive rehab instead of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are treatment programs which include classes, group meetings and therapy such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to participate in the aforementioned consequences and upon meeting specific requirements are even allowed to drive with a monitoring device in their car. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be determined by the judge and very likely proposed as an alternative sentence by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is only your first or sometimes second DWI charge.
Addiction treatment facilities in St. Ansgar that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines set forth by the courts and help offenders meet all the demands of their sentence and/or probation. In most cases 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 are required to make frequent appearances and check in with the courts, their parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
