Quite a few people who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Ruth, Nevada find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties for their drug and alcohol related crimes or agree to go to proven and effective alcohol and drug treatment programs. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime candidates for this kind of treatment, which has proven effective in responding to problems with drugs and alcohol and making sure they stay out of the criminal justice system for good. In fact, even if the alcohol and drug treatment alternative is involuntary and court ordered these clients experience similar if not better success rates as those who take part in drug and alcohol treatment by their own will. In fact, it is significantly more beneficial for the client, the court system and society all around to rehabilitate DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
