Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Venice, FL. often find themselves dealt extreme punishment because of their offenses including time in jail and other penalties which may haunt them for a long time to come. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to take part in a Venice, FL. drug and alcohol treatment program to handle their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not just in handling concerns relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given one shot end up rehabbed, which has a great impact not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society itself.
