DUI/DWI offenders in La Motte often find themselves going to have to deal with serious penalties because of their criminal offenses which could include time in jail and other penalties which can haunt them for many years. In lieu of these consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to take part in a La Motte drug treatment program to address their issues with drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not only in handling problems relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance end up rehabbed, having a positive influence not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society itself.
