Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Riggins often find themselves dealt severe penalties due to their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other penalties which can afflict them for a long time to come. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even court ordered to participate in a Riggins drug rehabilitation facility to address their issues with drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not just in treating issues regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, which has a beneficial effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
