DUI/DWI offenders in Hampton often find themselves burdened with serious legal penalties due to their offenses including jail time and other penalties which can afflict them for many years. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even ordered by the court to participate in a Hampton drug rehabilitation center to address their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has worked not only in addressing issues concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, having a beneficial influence not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society itself.
