Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Point Roberts may very well find that they are going to have to deal with serious penalties because of their DUI or DWI such as jail time and other penalties which can affect them for a long time to come. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to take part in a Point Roberts drug and alcohol rehabilitation center to deal with their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not just in addressing concerns concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot end up rehabilitated, which has a beneficial effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
