In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Weaver, Alabama drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to address their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug rehabilitation has worked not only in handling issues regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a positive influence not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
