Quite a few men and women who become found guilty of DUI or DWI in Syracuse find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their drug and alcohol related criminal offenses or take part in effective drug treatment facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime candidates for such rehab, which has proven effective in dealing with concerns with drug and keeping them of the court system in the future. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug rehabilitation option is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these clients experience the same successes as someone who takes part in drug treatment voluntarily. In fact, it is a lot more advantageous for the offender, the court system and society at large to rehabilitate DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
