A lot of people who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Walton find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their drug and alcohol related criminal offenses or agree to go to effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are prime candidates for such rehabilitation, which has proven effective in responding to concerns with alcohol and drugs and making sure they stay out of the criminal justice system in the future. In truth, even if the drug and alcohol rehab alternative is not voluntary and court ordered these clients experience similar if not better benefits as individuals who take part in drug treatment voluntarily. In fact, it is much more advantageous for the offender, the courts and today's culture at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
