DUI/DWI offenders in Wellington may very well find that they are dealt severe punishment because of their criminal offenses such as jail time and other consequences which can affect them for a long time to come. In lieu of such consequences or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly ordered by the court to receive help in a Wellington drug rehabilitation program to handle their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not only in handling issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabilitated, which has a great impact not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society itself.
