DUI/DWI offenders in Hauula are often given the option to take advantage of a drug rehab facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be very harsh, and may include jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hauula who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
