Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Joshua Tree, California may very well find that they are going to have to deal with serious penalties for their criminal offenses including jail time and other penalties which may afflict them for a long time to come. Instead of of these penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to receive help in a Joshua Tree drug rehabilitation center to deal with their problems with drug addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not just in treating problems regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabbed, having a beneficial impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
