DUI/DWI offenders in Kendall are often given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, including jail time and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kendall that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more severe penalties, many will remain out of the court system for good.
