There are programs available for DWI clients only, on account of the type of their crime and the need to meet certain requirements demanded by the legal system. If you're charged with a non-violent substance abuse related offense, it is very possible that you will be granted the chance to go to rehab in lieu of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which consist of classes, group meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to participate in the aforementioned activities and upon meeting certain conditions are even allowed to drive with an alcohol monitoring device in their vehicle. There are programs that are inpatient and cater specifically to DWI clients. This will usually be something that is decided upon by the judge and commonly presented as a solution by your attorney, if you are suffering with alcoholism and this is only your first offense.
Substance abuse treatment programs in Petersburg 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 instances individuals will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be regularly tested for drug and alcohol use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and are required to make regular appearances and check in with drug court, their probation/parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
