DUI/DWI offenders in Kennedale are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including jail time and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the court will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kennedale that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, many will remain out of the court system for good.
