Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Federal Heights often find themselves going to have to deal with severe penalties as a result of their crimes such as jail time and other consequences which may affect them for many years. Instead of of these consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to receive help in a Federal Heights drug and alcohol treatment facility to deal with their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has proven effective not only in handling issues regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabbed, having a beneficial effect not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
