Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Sharon often find that they are dealt severe legal penalties because of their criminal offenses including time in jail and other penalties which may afflict them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly court ordered to participate in a Sharon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to address their problems with drug addiction. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehab has worked not only in treating problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabbed, which has a positive effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society at large.
