Quite a few individuals who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Jupiter find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties as a result of their drug and alcohol related crimes or take part in proven and effective alcohol and drug treatment facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime candidates for such rehabilitation, which has been very helpful in dealing with issues with drugs and alcohol and making sure they stay out of the court system in the future. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug rehabilitation option is involuntary and court ordered these clients experience similar if not better success rates as individuals who take part in drug treatment voluntarily. In fact, it is much more advantageous for the offender, the court system and today's culture at large to treat DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
