Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Batesville may very well find that they are going to have to deal with extreme penalties due to their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other penalties which may affect them for years. Instead of of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly ordered by the court to take part in a Batesville drug and alcohol treatment program to address their issues with drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug treatment has proven effective not only in addressing issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, which has a beneficial effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
