Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Arroyo Grande often find that they are dealt severe punishment for their crimes such as time in jail and other penalties which can afflict them for a long time to come. Instead of of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in an Arroyo Grande drug rehab facility to handle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug treatment has worked not just in addressing issues regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabilitated, having a great impact not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
