DUI/DWI offenders in Escondido may very well find themselves burdened with extreme punishment because of their criminal offenses such as time in jail and other consequences which can haunt them for many years. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to participate in an Escondido drug treatment center to handle their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not only in handling issues regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot end up rehabilitated, which has a positive effect not just on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
