DUI/DWI offenders in Ridgeside often find that they are dealt serious legal penalties due to their DUI or DWI including jail time and other penalties which can afflict them for years. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Ridgeside drug rehab program to handle their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has proven effective not only in handling concerns concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabbed, having a great effect not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
