There are programs accessible for DWI clients only, due to the type of their crime and the requirement to meet specific obligations demanded by the courts. If you're charged with a non-violent drug related crime, it is very possible that you may be granted the opportunity to receive rehab as opposed to other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which consist of alcohol abuse education, group counseling such as AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to take part in the aforementioned consequences and upon meeting specific conditions are even granted permission to drive with an alcohol monitoring device in their vehicle. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This will usually be something that would be decided upon by the judge and commonly proposed as an option by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is only your first DWI charge.
Alcohol recovery programs in Van Meter that treat DWI clients only follow the instructions demanded by the courts and help clients comply with all the requirements of their sentence and/or parole. In most cases clients will need to plead guilty to their offense, and will be frequently 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.
