Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Rutherford may very well find that they are going to have to deal with extreme punishment as a result of their criminal offenses including jail time and other consequences which can haunt them for years. In lieu of these consequences or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to take part in a Rutherford drug and alcohol treatment program to address their problems with alcohol and drug addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not only in handling concerns relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a positive effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
