DUI/DWI offenders in Colmesneil frequently find themselves going to have to deal with extreme legal penalties for their offenses including time in jail and other consequences which may afflict them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to participate in a Colmesneil drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility to deal with their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not just in treating issues concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot become rehabbed, which has a beneficial influence not just on the offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
