DUI/DWI offenders in Lehigh often find that they are dealt severe legal penalties due to their criminal offenses including time in jail and other consequences which may afflict them for a long time to come. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to receive help in a Lehigh drug and alcohol rehab program to address their problems with drug abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not just in addressing issues relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance end up rehabbed, having a positive effect not just on the offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
