DUI/DWI offenders in Kake are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can often be rather harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kake who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe consequences, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
