Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Pineola often find that they are burdened with serious legal penalties because of their offenses including time in jail and other penalties which may afflict them for 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 receive help in a Pineola drug rehabilitation program to deal with their issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol treatment has worked not just in addressing issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given this opportunity end up rehabilitated, having a great effect not only on the offender but on the criminal justice and society at large.
