Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Arco may very well find that they are burdened with serious punishment because of their criminal offenses such as jail time and other penalties which can affect them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in an Arco drug rehab center to handle their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not only in treating issues relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabilitated, having a positive effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
