Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Oakville may very well find themselves burdened with severe penalties because of their criminal offenses including time in jail and other penalties which may haunt them for years. Instead of of these consequences or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to receive help in an Oakville drug rehab program to address their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not only in addressing issues regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabbed, which has a positive impact not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society at large.
