Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Foster often find that they are burdened with severe penalties due to their offenses such as time in jail and other consequences which can afflict them for many years. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to take part in a Foster drug rehab center to handle their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not just in handling issues regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a great impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
