+3Generally, alternative resolutions to criminal cases like attending 12-step programs are offered to drunk driving defendants as an alternate option to going to jail and/or losing your driver's license for a longer period of time. The defendant does not have to go to the program, but if he chooses not to he will spend some time in jail.
