DUI/DWI offenders in Lithia frequently find that they are going to have to deal with severe punishment for their offenses including jail time and other penalties which can afflict them for many years. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to receive help in a Lithia drug and alcohol treatment program to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not only in addressing concerns relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, which has a positive effect not just on the offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
