There are rehab programs available for DWI clients only, due to the type of their offense and the need to meet certain requirements deemed by the courts. If you've been charged with a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very possible that you will be given the opportunity to receive rehab as opposed to other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which consist of classes, group meetings and therapy such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some cases community service. Some states allow people to participate in the aforementioned consequences and upon meeting certain conditions are even allowed to drive with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their car. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This would be something that would be determined by the judge and usually proposed as an option by your attorney, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is your first or second DWI charge.
Alcohol rehab facilities in Kim that treat DWI clients only adhere to the instructions required by the courts and help offenders meet all the demands of their sentence and/or probation. In most cases clients will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be regularly tested for substance 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 having to spend up to two years in jail.
