There are rehab programs offered for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their crime and the need to carry out certain requirements deemed by the courts. If you've been convicted of a non-violent drug or alcohol related crime, it is very likely that you will be granted the opportunity to receive treatment instead of other penalties 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 AA and in some instances community service. Some states allow offenders to participate in the aforementioned consequences and upon complying with specific conditions are even granted permission to drive with a monitoring device in their vehicle. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be determined by the judge and commonly proposed as a solution by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and it is your first or sometimes second DWI charge.
Alcohol treatment facilities in Ovid that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines set forth by the courts and help offenders meet all the conditions of their sentence and/or parole. In most instances offenders 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 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.
