Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Wauchula often find that they are dealt severe penalties because of their offenses which could include time in jail and other penalties which can haunt them for a long time to come. In lieu of these consequences or to lessen some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or even court ordered to receive help in a Wauchula drug treatment center to deal with their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not only in treating issues relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this chance end up rehabilitated, having a positive influence not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
