Quite a few people who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Sweet Home find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their drug related offenses or take part in proven and effective drug and alcohol treatment centers. First time DUI/DWI offenders are key candidates for such rehab, which has been very helpful in addressing problems with drugs and alcohol and ensuring they stay out of the court system for good. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug rehabilitation alternative is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these clients experience similar if not better successes as individuals who take part in drug rehab voluntarily. In essence, it is significantly more beneficial for the offender, the courts and today's culture at large to treat DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
