DUI/DWI offenders in Carlton often find that they are burdened with severe punishment as a result of their criminal offenses including jail time and other penalties which can afflict them for a long time to come. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to take part in a Carlton drug and alcohol treatment program to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not just in handling problems relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabbed, having a positive influence not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
