DUI/DWI offenders in Oak View may very well find that they are burdened with severe punishment due to their crimes such as jail time and other penalties which can afflict them for a long time to come. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to receive help in an Oak View drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to address their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not only in addressing problems concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, which has a great effect not just on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
