DUI/DWI offenders in Lake Panasoffkee, FL. are occasionally given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can often be rather severe, including incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lake Panasoffkee, FL. who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme punishment, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
