Quite a few men and women who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Russell find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their drug and alcohol related crimes or agree to go to proven and effective drug treatment facilities. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime prospects for such rehabilitation, and this has been proven effective in addressing issues with drugs and alcohol and making sure they stay out of the court system in the future. In fact, even if the drug treatment alternative is not voluntary and court ordered these clients experience similar if not better benefits as individuals who take part in drug and alcohol rehab voluntarily. In fact, it is significantly more beneficial for the client, the court system and society at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
