Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Mexico, NY. often find themselves going to have to deal with extreme legal penalties for their offenses such as incarceration and other penalties which can haunt them for years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Mexico, NY. drug rehab facility to address their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not only in addressing issues relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot become rehabbed, having a positive influence not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
