Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Latah may very well find that they are dealt extreme penalties because of their criminal offenses which could include time in jail and other consequences which may haunt them for many years. Instead of of these penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to receive help in a Latah drug treatment facility to address their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not just in handling issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabbed, having a great impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
