Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Moscow often find that they are dealt serious penalties as a result of their DUI or DWI which could include time in jail and other penalties which may afflict them for years. 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 take part in a Moscow drug treatment facility to address their problems with drugs or alcohol addiction. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug rehab has worked not only in handling problems regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a great impact not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
