Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Chickasha often find that they are burdened with severe punishment for their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other penalties which may affect them for many years. In lieu of these consequences or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even ordered by the court to receive help in a Chickasha drug and alcohol rehabilitation center to deal with their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not just in treating concerns concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabilitated, having a positive effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
