Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Dalton, Massachusetts frequently find that they are burdened with serious penalties for their DUI or DWI which could include time in jail and other consequences which can haunt them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a Dalton, Massachusetts drug and alcohol rehab facility to address their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not just in treating issues concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot end up rehabilitated, having a great influence not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
