DUI/DWI offenders in Newark often find themselves going to have to deal with serious legal penalties because of their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other consequences which may haunt them for years. In lieu of these consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly court ordered to take part in a Newark drug treatment program to deal with their problems with drug addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has worked not only in treating issues relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabilitated, having a beneficial influence not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
