Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Pevely frequently find themselves going to have to deal with severe penalties due to their DUI or DWI including time in jail and other penalties which can haunt them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a Pevely drug rehab center to deal with their problems with drug abuse. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehab has proven effective not only in addressing concerns regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, having a positive effect not only on the offender but on the court system and society at large.
