Quite a few people who become convicted of DUI or DWI in La Jara discover that they are at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their drug and alcohol related crimes or take part in effective alcohol and drug treatment facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime prospects for such treatment, and this has been proven effective in dealing with problems with drugs and alcohol and ensuring they stay out of the court system in the future. In truth, even if the alcohol and drug treatment option is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these clients experience similar if not better successes as those who take part in drug treatment voluntarily. In fact, it is a lot more advantageous for the client, the court system and society at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
