Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to take part in a Foster, RI. drug rehab center to handle their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not just in handling issues regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently.
