Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Ohatchee may very well find themselves burdened with severe punishment for their criminal offenses such as incarceration and other penalties which may afflict them for a long time to come. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even court ordered to take part in an Ohatchee drug and alcohol treatment program to tackle their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has worked not only in addressing problems concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, which has a beneficial effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
