DUI/DWI offenders in Kennard are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, and may include incarceration and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kennard who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other more extreme consequences, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
