There are treatment services accessible for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their violation and the need to fulfill specific requirements demanded by the courts. If you've been convicted of a non-violent substance abuse related crime, it is very likely that you could be given the chance to go to rehab instead of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which consist of alcohol abuse education, group counseling such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to take part in the above consequences and upon meeting specific 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 would be something that is decided upon by the judge and usually proposed as an alternative sentence by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is your first or second DWI charge.
Substance abuse rehab facilities in Worthington that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines set forth by the courts and help clients comply with all the conditions of their sentence and/or parole. In most instances individuals will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be regularly tested for substance use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be 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 spending up to two years in jail.
