DWI Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fort Washington, MD.

There are programs accessible for DWI clients only, because of the type of their offense and the need to satisfy certain obligations deemed by the legal system. If you're convicted of a non-violent drug or alcohol related offense, it is very possible that you may be given the opportunity to receive rehab in lieu of other penalties such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which consist of alcohol abuse education, group counseling such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow offenders to participate in the aforementioned activities and upon meeting specific requirements are even allowed to drive with a monitoring device installed in their car. There are treatment facilities that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This will usually be something that would be decided upon by the judge and usually proposed as an alternative sentence by your lawyer, if you are suffering with alcoholism and it is only your first or second DWI charge.

Alcohol rehabilitation programs in Fort Washington that treat DWI clients only follow the guidelines demanded by the courts and help offenders meet all the requirements of their sentence and/or probation. In most cases individuals will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be regularly tested for drug and alcohol use, have to make restitution if there are any victims involved, and will be required to make regular appearances and check in with the courts, their parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than spending up to two years in jail.
