DUI/DWI offenders in Swiss frequently find that they are dealt serious punishment due to their offenses such as jail time and other consequences which can haunt them for many years. Instead of of these consequences or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a Swiss drug and alcohol rehab program to tackle their problems with drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has proven effective not only in handling concerns relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, having a beneficial influence not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
