Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Perry may very well find that they are going to have to deal with severe penalties because of their criminal offenses such as jail time and other penalties which may affect them for a long time to come. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to participate in a Perry drug and alcohol treatment program to address their issues with drug addiction. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not only in addressing problems regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabbed, having a great impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
