DUI/DWI offenders in Longmont frequently find that they are dealt serious legal penalties due to their criminal offenses including jail time and other penalties which can affect them for years. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to receive help in a Longmont drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to address their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not just in treating issues relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance end up rehabilitated, which has a great influence not just on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
