Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Bainbridge may very well find themselves burdened with serious penalties for their DUI or DWI such as jail time and other consequences which may haunt them for many years. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even court ordered to participate in a Bainbridge drug and alcohol treatment facility to address their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not only in handling issues regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot end up rehabilitated, which has a positive influence not just on the offender but on the court system and society at large.
