Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Waterloo may very well find that they are burdened with serious legal penalties for their criminal offenses such as incarceration and other penalties which may haunt them for a long time to come. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to participate in a Waterloo drug and alcohol rehab center to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not only in treating issues relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabbed, having a beneficial influence not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society itself.
