DUI/DWI offenders in Peru may very well find that they are going to have to deal with serious punishment due to their offenses including jail time and other consequences which may affect them for a long time to come. Instead of of these penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to take part in a Peru drug and alcohol rehab center to tackle their problems with drug addiction. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not just in treating problems regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, which has a beneficial effect not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
