DUI/DWI offenders in Cochrane often find that they are burdened with extreme legal penalties for their criminal offenses such as incarceration and other consequences which can affect them for a long time to come. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to participate in a Cochrane drug treatment program to address their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not only in handling problems regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabbed, which has a beneficial impact not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
