This could mean prison if your case is in Michigan. Contact qualified DUI counsel.

You will either have to do some jail time or extensive rehab time, maybe thirty days. You will probably lose your drivers license too.

In Michigan expect at least 30 days in jail and this could go up to the maximum of 5 years in prison. Get a lawyer.

A minimum of 180 days in jail, with a maximum of one year. You probably will face enhanced penalties due to the BAC being three times the legal limit. Depending on when your prior convictions were, you might also be looking at a probation violation.

Only an attorney in your community familiar with that particular judge can answer that question. It also depends on whether this is a misdemeanor charge or felony charge.

Assuming that you are in California, the statutory minimum is 120 days. If you did one year of house arrest for your second offense I would think that you are unlikely to be given many sentencing alternatives, I think you are likely looking at some time in custody (jail) with a possible release to an in-patient treatment program. This is only a guess and is definitely subject to the limitations of the jurisdiction where your case will be prosecuted, some counties can't house prisoners so more alternatives are available, others have plenty of space and like to have people "stay the night."

Depending on where the DUI occurred in Colorado, you will be looking at substantial jail time.
