Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Milford frequently find that they are going to have to deal with serious punishment for their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other consequences which can affect them for years. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to take part in a Milford drug rehab program to handle their issues with drug abuse. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has worked not only in treating problems regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, having a positive effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
