DUI/DWI offenders in Hanover often find themselves dealt severe penalties for their offenses which could include incarceration and other penalties which may afflict them for many years. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to take part in a Hanover drug rehabilitation program to deal with their issues with drug abuse. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has proven effective not only in addressing problems concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabilitated, having a great effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
