Many men and women who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Batavia, New York find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their alcohol and drug related crimes or take part in effective alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are primary prospects for such rehabilitation, which has been very helpful in responding to problems with drugs and alcohol and keeping them of the court system for good. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug rehab alternative is involuntary and is ordered by the judge these offenders experience similar if not better successes as someone who takes part in drug rehabilitation voluntarily. In truth, it is much more advantageous for the client, the court system and today's culture all around to treat DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
