DUI/DWI offenders in Richland may very well find themselves burdened with serious legal penalties as a result of their criminal offenses such as incarceration and other consequences which may affect them for many years. Instead of of these consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even court ordered to take part in a Richland drug and alcohol rehab facility to address their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not only in addressing issues concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a beneficial effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
