Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Dimmitt often find themselves burdened with extreme penalties because of their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other consequences which may haunt 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 even ordered by the court to participate in a Dimmitt drug and alcohol rehab program to address their issues with drug addiction. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not just in treating problems relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a great effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
