DUI/DWI offenders in Elwood may very well find that they are dealt extreme legal penalties for their offenses which could include time in jail and other penalties which can afflict them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in an Elwood drug and alcohol treatment center to handle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not just in treating issues regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabbed, having a beneficial impact not just on the offender but on the court system and society at large.
