DUI/DWI offenders in Oak Park may very well find that they are going to have to deal with severe penalties because of their criminal offenses which could include time in jail and other consequences which may afflict them for years. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly ordered by the court to take part in an Oak Park drug rehabilitation center to handle their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not only in treating issues relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabbed, which has a positive effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
