DUI/DWI offenders in Circle, Alaska may very well find that they are burdened with severe penalties due to their criminal offenses including time in jail and other consequences which can haunt them for many years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to receive help in a Circle, Alaska drug treatment facility to handle their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not only in addressing problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabilitated, which has a beneficial influence not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
