Individuals who get convicted of DUI/DWI in Solana Beach may very well find themselves burdened with severe punishment for their DUI or DWI such as incarceration and other penalties which can afflict them for years. Instead of of such penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to receive help in a Solana Beach drug and alcohol rehab program to handle their issues with drugs or alcohol addiction. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug treatment has proven effective not only in treating problems relating to substance abuse but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system permanently. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity become rehabbed, having a beneficial influence not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
