There are rehab programs offered for DWI clients only, because of the type of their crime and the need to meet specific obligations deemed by the legal system. If you're charged with a non-violent substance abuse related offense, it is very likely that you may be given the opportunity to receive rehab instead of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehab programs which include alcohol classes, group meetings and therapy such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to participate in the above activities and upon meeting certain conditions are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that is determined by the judge and usually proposed as an alternative sentence by your attorney, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is your first DWI charge.
Substance abuse rehab facilities in St. Marys that treat DWI clients only abide by the guidelines required by the courts and help clients meet all the conditions of their sentence and/or probation/parole. In most cases individuals will need to plead guilty to their offense, and will be randomly tested for substance use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and be 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.
