DUI/DWI offenders in Filer may very well find themselves going to have to deal with serious punishment as a result of their crimes such as time in jail and other penalties which may 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 sometimes court ordered to take part in a Filer drug and alcohol treatment program to address their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehab has worked not only in handling problems regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabbed, having a great effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
