Many men and women who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Meeker discover that they are at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties as a result of their drug related offenses or agree to go to proven and effective drug rehab facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime candidates for this kind of rehabilitation, and this has been been very helpful in responding to issues with alcohol and drugs and making sure they stay out of the court system for good. In fact, even if the drug and alcohol rehabilitation option is involuntary and is ordered by the judge these clients experience the same successes as someone who takes part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation voluntarily. In essence, it is a lot more advantageous for the individual, the court system and today's culture at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
