DUI/DWI offenders in Rices Landing often find that they are dealt severe penalties as a result of their crimes which could include jail time and other penalties which may afflict 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 sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Rices Landing drug and alcohol rehab program to address their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not only in addressing problems concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a positive influence not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
