Many men and women who become found guilty of DUI or DWI in Lewisburg find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties as a result of their drug and alcohol related offenses or agree to go to effective drug treatment centers. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are prime candidates for such treatment, which has proven effective in responding to difficulties with drugs and alcohol and ensuring they stay out of the court system in the future. In fact, even if the drug and alcohol treatment alternative is not voluntary and is ordered by the judge these clients experience the same benefits as someone who takes part in alcohol and drug treatment by their own will. In fact, it is much more advantageous for the client, the courts and today's culture at large to rehabilitate DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
