DUI/DWI offenders in Peninsula often find that they are going to have to deal with severe punishment because of their offenses including incarceration and other consequences which may haunt them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes court ordered to receive help in a Peninsula drug rehab center to tackle their problems with drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug treatment has worked not just in handling concerns regarding substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance end up rehabbed, having a great influence not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
