DUI/DWI offenders in Cape Coral frequently find themselves dealt severe legal penalties because of their offenses such as time in jail and other consequences which can affect them for many years. In lieu of such penalties or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to receive help in a Cape Coral drug and alcohol treatment facility to handle their issues with alcohol and drug addiction. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has worked not just in handling issues relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabbed, which has a great impact not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the court system and society at large.
