DUI/DWI offenders in Kinder, Louisiana are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be rather harsh, which can include jail time and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kinder, Louisiana who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, many will remain out of the court system for good.
