DUI/DWI offenders in Atlantic Highlands frequently find themselves burdened with extreme legal penalties due to their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other penalties which can affect them for many years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly court ordered to participate in an Atlantic Highlands drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to deal with their problems with alcohol and drug addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has worked not just in handling issues concerning drug addiction 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 end up rehabbed, having a positive effect not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
