DUI/DWI offenders in Penrose often find themselves burdened with extreme penalties due to their criminal offenses including time in jail and other consequences which can affect them for many years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even court ordered to receive help in a Penrose drug treatment program to handle their problems with drug abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not just in handling problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabilitated, which has a positive impact not only on the offender but on the court system and society at large.
