Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Indian Wells often find themselves dealt serious legal penalties as a result of their DUI or DWI which could include time in jail and other consequences which may haunt them for years. In lieu of these penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even court ordered to take part in an Indian Wells drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility to tackle their problems with alcohol and drug abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not only in treating problems concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabilitated, which has a positive effect not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
