Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Basom, New York may very well find themselves dealt extreme penalties for their criminal offenses including jail time and other penalties which may afflict them for many years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to receive help in a Basom, New York drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility to deal with their problems with drug addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehab has worked not only in addressing problems regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabbed, which has a positive effect not only on the offender but on the court system and society at large.
