There are programs available for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their crime and the requirement to carry out certain obligations demanded by the courts. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug related crime, it is very likely that you may be given the chance to receive treatment in lieu of other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehab programs which include classes, group meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to take part in the aforementioned consequences and upon meeting specific conditions are even allowed to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device in their car. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This will usually be something that would be decided upon by the judge and usually presented as an option by your attorney, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and it is only your first DWI charge.
Alcohol rehab facilities in Shelbyville that treat DWI clients only abide by the guidelines required by the courts and help offenders comply with all the requirements of their sentence and/or probation/parole. In most instances offenders will have to plead guilty to their offense, and will be frequently tested for drug and alcohol use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make frequent appearances and check in with drug court, their probation officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
