DUI/DWI offenders in Freetown may very well find that they are going to have to deal with serious legal penalties as a result of their offenses including incarceration and other penalties which may haunt them for a long time to come. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to participate in a Freetown drug and alcohol treatment facility to address their issues with drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not just in handling issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot end up rehabbed, which has a beneficial influence not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
