There are programs offered for DWI clients only, because of the nature of their crime and the need to fulfill specific obligations deemed by the legal system. If you're convicted of a non-violent substance abuse related crime, it is very likely that you will be granted the chance to receive treatment 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 AA and in some cases community service. Some states allow offenders to participate in the aforementioned activities and upon meeting specific conditions are even granted permission to drive with a monitoring device installed in their car. There are programs that are inpatient and cater specifically to DWI clients. This will usually be something that is decided upon by the judge and very likely proposed as a solution by your attorney, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is only your first DWI charge.
Alcohol treatment facilities in Shingleton that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines set forth by the courts and help clients meet all the requirements of their sentence and/or probation. In most cases individuals will need to plead guilty to their offense, and will be randomly tested for substance use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and are required to make regular appearances and check in with drug court, their probation officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
