Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Palmer frequently find themselves burdened with severe punishment for their criminal offenses which could include incarceration and other consequences which may affect them for a long time to come. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to participate in a Palmer drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not just in addressing problems relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a great influence not just on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
