DUI/DWI offenders in Lake City often find themselves going to have to deal with severe punishment for their criminal offenses such as jail time and other penalties which can affect them for many years. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Lake City drug rehab facility to address their issues with drugs or alcohol addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehab has proven effective not just in treating issues relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabbed, which has a beneficial effect not just on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
