DUI/DWI offenders in Springfield often find that they are burdened with severe legal penalties because of their criminal offenses which could include time in jail and other penalties which may afflict them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly court ordered to participate in a Springfield drug rehabilitation center to address their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not just in treating issues regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot end up rehabbed, having a positive influence not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
