Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Glenwood Springs often find themselves burdened with severe legal penalties due to their criminal offenses including time in jail and other consequences which can afflict them for many years. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Glenwood Springs drug rehabilitation facility to tackle their issues with drug addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not just in treating problems regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a positive impact not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society at large.
