Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Big Creek often find that they are burdened with severe punishment due to their criminal offenses including time in jail and other consequences which can affect them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even ordered by the court to take part in a Big Creek drug treatment center to deal with their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not only in treating problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, which has a great effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
