There are rehab programs accessible for DWI clients only, on account of the nature of their crime and the need to carry out specific obligations deemed by the courts. If you've been charged with a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very possible that you may be granted the chance to receive treatment instead of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are treatment programs which consist of classes, group meetings such as AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow offenders to take part in the aforementioned activities and upon complying with specific requirements are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with a monitoring device in their vehicle. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and cater specifically to DWI clients. This will usually be something that would be determined by the judge and very likely presented as an alternative sentence by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and it is your first DWI charge.
Addiction rehab programs in Alto that treat DWI clients only abide by the instructions set forth by the courts and help offenders comply with all the demands of their sentence and/or parole. In most instances clients 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 will be required to make regular appearances and check in with the courts, their probation officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
