DUI/DWI offenders in West Salem may very well find themselves dealt serious legal penalties as a result of their offenses including time in jail and other penalties which may afflict them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a West Salem drug and alcohol rehab program to tackle their problems with drug addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug rehabilitation has worked not only in treating issues regarding 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 great influence not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
