Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Pierpont often find that they are burdened with extreme legal penalties as a result of their crimes including jail time and other penalties which may affect them for a long time to come. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to receive help in a Pierpont drug and alcohol rehabilitation center to address their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not only in treating concerns regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, which has a positive effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
