There are treatment services available for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their crime and the requirement to meet certain obligations deemed by the legal system. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug related crime, it is very likely that you will be granted the chance to receive rehab as opposed to 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 participate in the aforementioned sentences and upon complying with specific conditions are even allowed to drive with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their car. There are rehab programs that are inpatient and cater specifically to DWI clients. This would be something that would be determined by the judge and very likely proposed as an option by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and this is only your first DWI charge.
Substance abuse recovery facilities in Alpena that treat DWI clients only adhere to the guidelines demanded by the courts and help offenders meet all the demands of their sentence and/or probation/parole. In most cases offenders will have to plead guilty to their charge, and will be randomly tested for drug and alcohol use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and are required to make frequent appearances and check in with drug court, their parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than spending up to two years in jail.
