Quite a few people who become convicted of DUI or DWI in Chouteau, OK. find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties as a result of their drug related crimes or take part in proven and effective drug rehab facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime prospects for such treatment, and this has been proven effective in dealing with problems with drug and keeping them of the criminal justice system in the future. In truth, even if the alcohol and drug rehab alternative is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these offenders experience similar if not better successes as those who take part in drug treatment voluntarily. In fact, it is much more beneficial for the offender, the courts and society at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
