There are programs offered for DWI clients only, on account of the nature of their crime and the requirement to carry out certain requirements demanded by the courts. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug related offense, it is very possible that you may be granted the chance to go to rehab as opposed to other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehab programs which include alcohol classes, group meetings and therapy such as AA and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to participate in the aforementioned activities and upon meeting certain requirements are even granted permission to drive with a monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and cater specifically to DWI offenders. This will usually be something that is determined by the judge and commonly presented as an option by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is your first offense.
Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in New Haven that treat DWI clients only abide by the instructions set forth by the courts and help clients meet all the demands of their sentence and/or parole. In most instances clients 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 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.
