DUI/DWI offenders in West Medford, Massachusetts may very well find that they are going to have to deal with serious penalties as a result of their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other consequences which may affect them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even ordered by the court to receive help in a West Medford, Massachusetts drug and alcohol treatment facility to address their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not only in addressing issues relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabbed, having a beneficial effect not just on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
