DUI/DWI offenders in Murfreesboro frequently find themselves dealt extreme legal penalties as a result of their crimes such as time in jail and other penalties which can haunt them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Murfreesboro drug and alcohol rehab facility to address their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not just in addressing issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, which has a positive influence not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
