There are programs available for DWI clients only, due to the nature of their offense and the requirement to carry out certain requirements deemed by the legal system. If you're charged with a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very possible that you may be granted the opportunity to go to rehab 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 Alcoholics Anonymous and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to take part in the above consequences and upon meeting certain requirements are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with a monitoring device installed in their vehicle. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that is determined by the judge and usually presented as an option by your attorney, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is your first offense.
Substance abuse rehab programs in Orleans that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines set forth by the courts and help offenders comply with all the conditions of their sentence and/or probation/parole. In most instances clients will have to plead guilty to their charge, and will be frequently tested for drug and alcohol use, be required to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and are 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 spending up to two years in jail.
