There are programs available for DWI clients only, because of the type of their crime and the need to meet specific obligations deemed by the courts. If you've been charged with a non-violent substance abuse related offense, it is very possible that you could be granted the chance to go to treatment in lieu of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehab programs which consist of alcohol abuse education, group meetings and therapy such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow offenders to participate in the above consequences and upon meeting certain conditions are even granted permission to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device in their vehicle. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that is determined by the judge and very likely presented as a solution by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and it is your first or sometimes second offense.
Addiction rehab programs in Presque Isle that treat DWI clients only abide by the instructions set forth by the courts and help clients meet all the conditions of their sentence and/or probation. In most cases individuals will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be randomly tested for drug and alcohol 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 probation officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than spending up to two years in jail.
