Many individuals who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Bandera find themselves at a crossroads, and can find themselves dealing with serious penalties as a result of their drug and alcohol related criminal offenses or agree to go to proven and effective drug rehab programs. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are prime prospects for such rehabilitation, which has been very helpful in responding to concerns with alcohol and drugs and ensuring they stay out of the court system in the future. In fact, even if the drug rehabilitation option is involuntary and is ordered by the court these clients experience the same successes as those who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation voluntarily. In essence, it is a lot more advantageous for the offender, the courts and society at large to rehab DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
