DUI/DWI offenders in Hanover often find themselves burdened with extreme penalties for their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other consequences which may haunt them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly court ordered to take part in a Hanover drug rehabilitation program to address their issues with drug addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not just in addressing problems relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabilitated, having a great impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society itself.
