DUI/DWI offenders in Knippa often find themselves going to have to deal with extreme legal penalties due to their DUI or DWI which could include time in jail and other consequences which can haunt them for years. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Knippa drug and alcohol rehab facility to tackle their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not just in treating concerns regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabilitated, which has a positive effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
