Many people who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Herald discover that they are at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their drug related offenses or agree to go to proven and effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are primary candidates for such rehab, which has proven effective in addressing difficulties with alcohol and drugs and ensuring they stay out of the court system in the future. In truth, even if the alcohol and drug treatment option is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these clients experience similar if not better success rates as someone who takes part in alcohol and drug treatment by their own will. In truth, it is much more advantageous for the individual, the court system and society all around to treat DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
