There are programs available for DWI clients only, because of the type of their violation and the requirement to fulfill certain requirements demanded by the legal system. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very possible that you will be given the opportunity to go to rehab as opposed to other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehab programs which include alcohol classes, group counseling such as AA and in some instances community service. Some states allow offenders to participate in the above activities and upon meeting certain requirements are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with a monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be determined by the judge and usually proposed as an option by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is your first or second DWI charge.
Substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Columbus that treat DWI clients only adhere to the guidelines set forth by the courts and help clients comply with all the conditions of their sentence and/or probation. In most cases offenders will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be regularly tested for drug and alcohol use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make frequent appearances and check in with the courts, their probation/parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than spending up to two years in jail.
