Many men and women who become found guilty of DUI or DWI in Clarkdale, GA. find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their drug and alcohol related crimes or agree to go to proven and effective drug treatment programs. First time DUI/DWI offenders are key candidates for this kind of treatment, which has proven effective in responding to difficulties with alcohol and drugs and ensuring they stay out of the criminal justice system in the future. In fact, even if the drug treatment option is not voluntary and is ordered by the judge these offenders experience the same success rates as those who take part in drug treatment by their own will. In fact, it is much more beneficial for the offender, the courts and society all around to rehabilitate DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
