Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Southmont often find that they are going to have to deal with extreme legal penalties for their DUI or DWI including jail time and other consequences which may affect them for many years. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to receive help in a Southmont drug and alcohol treatment center to address their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not only in treating concerns relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance end up rehabbed, having a positive influence not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
