There are treatment services accessible for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their violation and the need to satisfy specific obligations deemed by the legal system. If you're charged with a non-violent substance abuse related crime, it is very likely that you could be given the opportunity to go to rehab in lieu of other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which consist of alcohol abuse education, group counseling such as AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow offenders to participate in the above activities and upon meeting specific conditions are even granted permission to drive with an alcohol monitoring device in their car. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI clients. This will usually be something that would be determined by the judge and commonly proposed as an option by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is only your first DWI charge.
Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in St. Mary that treat DWI clients only follow the instructions demanded by the courts and help offenders comply with all the demands of their sentence and/or probation. In most cases clients will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be randomly tested for substance use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make frequent appearances and check in with the courts, their parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
