More details to this question:
Is either one an option? I was charged with a misdemeanor. And my total time was 120 days or resident program. I've done 69 already.

With proper representation by a DUI specialist, you have a chance. It also depends on the county/area you were arrested in.

You can get credit for the 69 days if you were ordered to attend and remain in the program as a condition of bail. If not, you must do the time.

You need to discuss these options with your attorney. These kinds of things vary a great deal and often depend upon which county you are charged in.

You can ask anything you like. You do so by filing a sentencing amendment motion on good cause, to convince the judge to do so.
