DUI/DWI offenders in Pekin, IL. often find themselves dealt severe penalties due to their offenses such as time in jail and other penalties which can haunt them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even court ordered to participate in a Pekin, IL. drug rehab program to deal with their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not only in treating concerns relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabilitated, having a great effect not just on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
