DUI/DWI offenders in El Paso may very well find themselves dealt serious penalties because of their offenses including jail time and other consequences which can haunt them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to receive help in an El Paso drug and alcohol treatment program to address their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has proven effective not just in handling concerns regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabilitated, having a positive influence not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
