Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Waterville frequently find that they are dealt severe legal penalties because of their DUI or DWI including jail time and other consequences which can afflict them for a long time to come. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to participate in a Waterville drug treatment program to handle their problems with drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not just in handling issues concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabbed, which has a positive effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society at large.
