There are treatment services available for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their violation and the need to meet specific obligations demanded by the legal system. If you've been convicted of a non-violent substance abuse related offense, it is very likely 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 include alcohol classes, group meetings such as AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to participate in the aforementioned sentences and upon complying with certain conditions are even allowed to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their car. There are rehab programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI clients. This would be something that would be determined by the judge and commonly proposed as an alternative sentence by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and this is only your first DWI charge.
Addiction treatment facilities in Port Hope that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines demanded by the courts and help clients meet all the demands of their sentence and/or probation/parole. In most cases individuals will need 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 will be required to make frequent appearances and check in with drug court, their parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
