DUI/DWI offenders in Shoals may very well find that they are dealt extreme legal penalties for their crimes which could include time in jail and other consequences which can affect them for a long time to come. In lieu of these penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to participate in a Shoals drug treatment center to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not just in addressing issues regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot end up rehabilitated, having a positive effect not just on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society itself.
