DUI/DWI offenders in Winona often find themselves dealt serious legal penalties as a result of their criminal offenses which could include time in jail and other penalties which can affect them for many 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 take part in a Winona drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to deal with their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has proven effective not just in handling issues regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot end up rehabbed, which has a positive influence not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society itself.
