DUI/DWI offenders in Souris often find that they are going to have to deal with extreme legal penalties for their DUI or DWI which could include time in jail and other penalties which can affect them for many years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even court ordered to take part in a Souris drug and alcohol treatment center to handle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not only in addressing issues concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabbed, having a beneficial effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
