There are programs available for DWI clients only, due to the nature of their violation and the requirement to meet certain requirements demanded by the courts. If you're charged with a non-violent drug related offense, it is very likely that you will be granted the chance to receive treatment instead of other penalties 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 take part in the aforementioned sentences and upon meeting certain conditions are even granted permission to drive with a monitoring device in their car. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI clients. This would be something that would be decided upon by the judge and very likely proposed as a solution by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is your first or second DWI charge.
Drug rehabilitation facilities in California that treat DWI clients only adhere to the instructions demanded by the courts and help offenders comply with all the conditions of their sentence and/or probation. In most instances individuals will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be randomly tested for drug and alcohol use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make frequent appearances and check in with drug court, their parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
