Alcohol Treatment and Rehabilitation
We support the use of treatment for substance abuse and related problems, along with aftercare, to allow offenders to address their problems with professional help and guidance. When combined with swift identification and certain punishment, treatment is critical as it helps keep the drunk driver from repeating the behavior by addressing underlying factors that lead to DUI, thereby protecting him or her and also protecting the public.
This section details the assessment process for offenders and examines a few of the rehabilitative options that are commonly available to address a drunk driving offender’s underlying issues and needs, including specialty courts and staggered sentencing.
