DUI/DWI offenders in Westminster, Vermont often find themselves dealt serious penalties as a result of their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other penalties which can haunt them for years. In lieu of these consequences or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to participate in a Westminster, Vermont drug and alcohol treatment center to address their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not just in handling problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabilitated, which has a great effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
