Many people who become found guilty of DUI or DWI in Paso Robles, California find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their drug related offenses or take part in proven and effective drug rehabilitation programs. First time DUI/DWI offenders are primary prospects for such treatment, which has been very helpful in dealing with issues with alcohol and drugs and keeping them of the criminal justice system in the future. To be more exact, even if the alcohol and drug treatment option is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these clients experience the same success rates as those who take part in drug rehabilitation by their own will. In fact, it is much more beneficial for the offender, the courts and society at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
