Many men and women who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Strathmore, CA. find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their alcohol and drug related criminal offenses or take part in proven and effective drug rehabilitation facilities. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are prime prospects for such treatment, which has proven effective in responding to problems with alcohol and drugs and keeping them of the criminal justice system in the future. In fact, even if the drug and alcohol treatment option is involuntary and court ordered these individuals experience the same success rates as individuals who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation by their own will.
