There are programs offered for DWI clients only, due to the type of their crime and the need to satisfy certain obligations deemed by the courts. If you've been convicted of a non-violent drug or alcohol related crime, it is very possible that you will be granted the opportunity to receive treatment in lieu of other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehabilitation programs which include classes, group meetings such as AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to take part in the aforementioned activities and upon complying with certain conditions are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device in their vehicle. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be decided upon by the judge and very likely presented as a solution by your attorney, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is only your first or sometimes second DWI charge.
Drug and Alcohol treatment programs in Gilford that treat DWI clients only adhere to the instructions set forth by the courts and help clients meet all the conditions of their sentence and/or parole. In most cases 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 frequent appearances and check in with drug court, their probation/parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
