DUI/DWI offenders in Northway often find that they are going to have to deal with severe penalties for their offenses including jail time and other penalties which can afflict them for a long time to come. In lieu of these consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to take part in a Northway drug rehab center to deal with their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not only in addressing issues regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, which has a great impact not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
