DUI/DWI offenders in Pocahontas may very well find that they are going to have to deal with severe legal penalties for their criminal offenses including jail time and other penalties which may afflict them for a long time to come. Instead of of such penalties or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to participate in a Pocahontas drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to tackle their problems with drug addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has worked not only in treating issues concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot end up rehabbed, which has a great influence not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
