Many people who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Cornelius find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their drug related offenses or take part in proven and effective drug rehab centers. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are primary candidates for such treatment, which has been very helpful in dealing with concerns with drugs and alcohol and keeping them of the court system in the future. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug rehabilitation option is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these offenders experience similar if not better success rates as those who take part in drug rehab voluntarily. In essence, it is significantly more advantageous for the client, the courts and society at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
