Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Hazlehurst often find themselves burdened with severe penalties because of their criminal offenses including jail time and other penalties which may afflict them for a long time to come. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even court ordered to receive help in a Hazlehurst drug treatment program to address their issues with drugs or alcohol addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not only in addressing problems regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabbed, which has a positive influence not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
