DUI/DWI offenders in Chatham frequently find that they are burdened with serious legal penalties because of their crimes such as time in jail and other consequences which may haunt them for years. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to receive help in a Chatham drug rehabilitation facility to tackle their issues with drug addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not just in treating problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabilitated, having a positive influence not just on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
