There are treatment services accessible for DWI clients only, due to the type of their crime and the requirement to meet certain requirements demanded by the legal system. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug related crime, it is very possible that you may be granted the chance to receive treatment as opposed to other penalties 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 cases community service. Some states allow offenders to take part in the above sentences and upon meeting specific requirements are even allowed to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their car. There are programs that are inpatient and cater specifically to DWI offenders. This would be something that would be decided upon by the judge and very likely proposed as an alternative sentence by your attorney, if you are suffering with alcoholism and this is your first or second DWI charge.
Alcohol recovery programs in Norton Shores that treat DWI clients only adhere to the guidelines required by the courts and help offenders meet all the conditions of their sentence and/or probation. In most instances clients will have to plead guilty to their offense, and will be randomly tested for substance use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and 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 spending up to two years in jail.
