There are rehab programs available for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their crime and the requirement to fulfill certain obligations deemed by the courts. If you're charged with a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very possible that you could be given the chance to go to rehab instead of other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which consist of alcohol abuse education, group meetings such as AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow offenders to participate in the aforementioned sentences and upon meeting certain conditions are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are rehab programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that is decided upon by the judge and usually proposed as a solution by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and it is only your first or second DWI charge.
Substance abuse treatment programs in St. Francis that treat DWI clients only adhere to the guidelines required by the courts and help offenders meet all the conditions of their sentence and/or probation. In most instances individuals will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be frequently tested for substance 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 officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
