DWI clients in rehab need to complete specific requirements to fulfill the terms of their sentencing. Treatment facilities which help satisfy these requirements and terms, which are usually far more lenient than normal sentencing such as heavy fines and jail time, are offered in San Jose to deliver educational services, counseling, and additional assessment for severe drug or alcohol issues.
Education is an essential treatment tool used at rehabs catering to DWI clients. There are a few different levels of alcohol education which can differ by state. Level I education classes generally include 12 hours of education related to the effects and dangers of alcohol and drugs. This is the what someone with a first conviction or someone under the age of 21 will usually be required to complete. Level II classes would consist of both substance abuse education and group therapy at a court approved program. How long a person will be required to be in therapy depends on various factors, which can include the number of DWI's the offender has had, and the severity of the offense. In most cases, clients will be sentenced to the Level II classes and therapy unless their blood-alcohol content level was very low when they were stopped and there weren't any other significant charges when the person was arrested.
