In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to participate in a Buzzards Bay drug rehabilitation facility to handle their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not just in addressing issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a great effect not only on the offender but on the court system and society at large.
