Many men and women who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Big Springs find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their drug related criminal offenses or agree to go to proven and effective drug treatment programs. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are key prospects for such rehab, and this has been been very helpful in addressing difficulties with drug and ensuring they stay out of the court system in the future. In truth, even if the alcohol and drug rehabilitation option is not voluntary and is ordered by the judge these clients experience the same successes as those who take part in alcohol and drug rehab by their own will. In fact, it is significantly more beneficial for the client, the court system and society at large to rehabilitate DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
