There are programs offered for DWI clients only, on account of the type of their violation and the requirement to satisfy certain obligations deemed by the legal system. If you've been charged with a non-violent substance abuse related crime, it is very likely that you may be given the chance to receive treatment in lieu of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehabilitation programs which consist of alcohol classes, group meetings and therapy such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some cases community service. Some states allow offenders to take part in the above sentences and upon meeting certain conditions are even allowed to drive with a monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are rehab programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be decided upon by the judge and very likely proposed as an alternative sentence by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and this is your first or sometimes second offense.
Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities in Norway that treat DWI clients only abide by the instructions set forth by the courts and help offenders meet all the demands of their sentence and/or parole. In most cases offenders will have to plead guilty to their offense, and will be frequently tested for substance use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and be required to make regular appearances and check in with the courts, their probation/parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
