First line up your ducks. Check with your Employer and see if Insurance covers rehab. It's expensive. Have your DUI attorney handle the rest. Get enrolled and try to have your lawyer order rehab; that way, you'll get full statutory credit at sentencing. Good luck.

To attempt to get a rehab program, in lieu of jail or prison, you need to have a good lawyer negotiating with the prosecutor to try to get that alternative. Depending on the criminal history and facts of the case, as well as the court-house you're in, those are all factors for your attorney to work with. I wish you well..........David Wallin
