Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Kennedy often find themselves burdened with extreme penalties due to their DUI or DWI such as incarceration and other penalties which can haunt them for many years. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to receive help in a Kennedy drug rehab facility to deal with their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Making someone or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug rehab has proven effective not just in treating issues relating to drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabilitated, having a positive effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
