DUI/DWI offenders in Riverview may very well find themselves burdened with serious punishment due to their offenses such as time in jail and other consequences which can affect them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to receive help in a Riverview drug and alcohol rehab center to deal with their issues with drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not only in treating issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabbed, which has a great effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
