DUI/DWI offenders in Elko, Nevada may very well find themselves dealt severe legal penalties as a result of their offenses such as incarceration and other consequences which can afflict them for a long time to come. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to receive help in an Elko drug and alcohol rehab facility to address their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not only in handling issues concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabbed, having a great effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
