DUI/DWI offenders in South El Monte often find themselves dealt extreme legal penalties as a result of their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other penalties which may haunt them for years. Instead of of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to take part in a South El Monte drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their problems with drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not only in addressing concerns concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot end up rehabilitated, which has a positive effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
