There are programs offered for DWI clients only, on account of the type of their crime and the need to satisfy specific obligations deemed by the legal system. If you've been charged with a non-violent substance abuse related offense, it is very possible that you could be granted the opportunity to go to treatment instead of other consequences such as jail time. In most states, the alternatives to jail are recovery programs which include classes, group counseling such as Alcoholics Anonymous and in some instances community service. Some states allow people to take part in the above consequences and upon meeting certain requirements are even allowed to drive their vehicle with an alcohol monitoring device installed in their car. There are programs that are inpatient and specifically treat DWI offenders. This will usually be something that would be determined by the judge and very likely proposed as a solution by your lawyer, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and this is only your first DWI charge.
Drug rehab facilities in O Fallon that treat DWI clients only abide by the instructions set forth by the courts and help offenders comply with all the conditions of their sentence and/or parole. In most cases offenders will need to plead guilty to their charge, and will be randomly tested for substance 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 parole officer, etc. This sounds like a lot, but it is better than having to spend up to two years in jail.
