Many men and women who become convicted of DUI or DWI in Canton find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties as a result of their alcohol and drug related crimes or take part in effective drug rehabilitation programs. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are primary prospects for such treatment, which has proven effective in dealing with problems with drugs and alcohol and making sure they stay out of the criminal justice system in the future. In truth, even if the alcohol and drug rehab option is not voluntary and is ordered by the judge these clients experience similar if not better success rates as someone who takes part in alcohol and drug treatment by their own will. In essence, it is significantly more beneficial for the offender, the courts and society at large to treat DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
