Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Kaweah often find that they are going to have to deal with extreme penalties for their DUI or DWI such as jail time and other penalties which may affect them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even ordered by the court to participate in a Kaweah drug and alcohol rehab center to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not only in handling problems relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabilitated, having a great influence not just on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
