Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Pine Island may very well find themselves dealt severe penalties as a result of their DUI or DWI including jail time and other consequences which may haunt them for many years. In lieu of these penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a Pine Island drug and alcohol treatment facility to tackle their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehab has worked not only in addressing concerns concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabbed, having a beneficial influence not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
