There are rehab programs offered for DWI clients only, due to the type of their crime and the requirement to fulfill specific obligations demanded by the legal system. If you're charged with a non-violent substance abuse related offense, it is very likely that you may be given the chance to go to rehabilitation in lieu of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are rehab programs which consist of classes, group meetings and therapy such as AA and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to take part in the above sentences and upon meeting certain requirements are even granted permission to drive with a monitoring device in their car. There are rehab programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI clients. This would be something that is determined by the judge and commonly presented as an alternative sentence by your attorney, if you are suffering with alcoholism and this is your first offense.
Substance abuse treatment facilities in Ruth that treat DWI clients only follow the instructions demanded by the courts and help offenders comply with all the requirements 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 officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
