DUI/DWI offenders in Lively frequently find that they are burdened with extreme penalties for their criminal offenses which could include jail time and other consequences which can haunt them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to take part in a Lively drug rehab program to address their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not just in treating issues relating to drug addiction 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 rehabilitated, which has a beneficial impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
