Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Bandera often find that they are burdened with extreme penalties as a result of their DUI or DWI such as time in jail and other penalties which may haunt them for years. Instead of of such consequences or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a Bandera drug treatment facility to handle their issues with drugs or alcohol abuse. Making someone or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not just in addressing problems concerning drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. A lot of DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabilitated, which has a great effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the court system and society at large.
