Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Gulf Hammock may very well find themselves going to have to deal with severe penalties due to their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other penalties which may haunt them for many years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to receive help in a Gulf Hammock drug treatment program to handle their problems with drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug treatment has worked not just in handling issues concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabbed, which has a positive impact not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
