DUI/DWI offenders in Hot Springs National Park frequently find themselves burdened with extreme punishment for their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other consequences which may affect them for many years. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to take part in a Hot Springs National Park drug treatment program to deal with their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug rehab has worked not only in treating problems regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, which has a beneficial effect not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
