Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Tupper Lake may very well find that they are going to have to deal with severe legal penalties for their DUI or DWI such as incarceration and other consequences which can haunt them for years. Instead of of these consequences or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to take part in a Tupper Lake drug and alcohol treatment program to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not only in addressing issues regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabilitated, having a great effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society itself.
