Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Schoharie frequently find themselves burdened with severe punishment due to their DUI or DWI including jail time and other consequences which can affect them for years. In lieu of these consequences or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly court ordered to participate in a Schoharie drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to deal with their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehab has worked not just in handling issues regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot end up rehabbed, having a great effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society itself.
