DUI/DWI offenders in Verdi often find that they are dealt severe punishment for their offenses including incarceration and other penalties which may afflict them for a long time to come. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to take part in a Verdi drug and alcohol rehab center to deal with their problems with drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug treatment has worked not just in handling problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity become rehabbed, having a beneficial effect not just on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
