Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Wellington may very well find that they are going to have to deal with severe penalties because of their criminal offenses such as incarceration and other consequences which can afflict them for years. 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 Wellington drug and alcohol treatment facility to deal with their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not only in addressing problems concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot become rehabilitated, which has a beneficial effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
