Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Macedonia often find themselves burdened with severe penalties for their criminal offenses which could include time in jail and other consequences which may haunt 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 Macedonia drug and alcohol rehab center to address their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not only in treating problems regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabilitated, which has a positive influence not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society at large.
