Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Sparta frequently find that they are going to have to deal with extreme penalties because of their crimes including jail time and other penalties which can affect them for many years. In lieu of these consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to receive help in a Sparta drug rehab facility to address their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has proven effective not only in treating issues regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, having a beneficial effect not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
