Many individuals who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Longford find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties as a result of their drug and alcohol related offenses or agree to go to proven and effective drug treatment centers. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are key prospects for this kind of rehabilitation, and this has been proven effective in dealing with problems with alcohol and drugs and making sure they stay out of the criminal justice system for good. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug treatment option is not voluntary and court ordered these offenders experience the same successes as those who take part in drug treatment voluntarily. In essence, it is a lot more advantageous for the client, the courts and today's culture at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
