Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Brookneal often find themselves burdened with serious penalties for their DUI or DWI which could include time in jail and other consequences which may affect them for years. Instead of of these consequences or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to take part in a Brookneal drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has worked not just in treating problems concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot end up rehabilitated, having a great effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
