Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Newtown may very well find themselves dealt severe punishment due to their DUI or DWI such as jail time and other consequences which can affect them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to take part in a Newtown drug and alcohol rehab program to handle their issues with drug addiction. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has worked not just in handling problems concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabilitated, having a beneficial effect not just on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
