Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Kermit often find themselves going to have to deal with severe punishment because of their DUI or DWI such as incarceration and other consequences which can haunt them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in a Kermit drug and alcohol treatment program to tackle their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug rehabilitation has proven effective not just in addressing problems regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabbed, which has a beneficial effect not only on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
