Many men and women who become convicted of DUI or DWI in Bergen discover that they are at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties as a result of their drug related offenses or take part in proven and effective alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are primary prospects for such rehabilitation, which has proven effective in dealing with problems with alcohol and drugs and keeping them of the criminal justice system in the future. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug treatment option is involuntary and is ordered by the court these offenders experience the same success rates as those who take part in drug and alcohol treatment by their own will. In essence, it is significantly more advantageous for the offender, the court system and today's culture all around to rehabilitate DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
