DUI/DWI offenders in Paris may very well find themselves dealt serious legal penalties as a result of their crimes such as incarceration and other penalties which may affect them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to receive help in a Paris drug and alcohol treatment facility to handle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has proven effective not only in handling problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a great impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
