A lot of people who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Maricopa discover that they are at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their drug related criminal offenses or agree to go to proven and effective drug rehab facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are primary candidates for this kind of rehabilitation, and this has been proven effective in responding to problems with drug and making sure they stay out of the criminal justice system in the future. In truth, even if the alcohol and drug rehab option is involuntary and is ordered by the court these clients experience similar if not better success rates as those who take part in alcohol and drug rehab by their own will. In essence, it is much more advantageous for the offender, the courts and society all around to treat DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
