DUI/DWI offenders in Ludington often find that they are going to have to deal with serious penalties because of their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other consequences which can afflict them for years. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to receive help in a Ludington drug treatment program to handle their issues with drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not only in handling problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot become rehabilitated, having a great effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
