DUI/DWI offenders in Auburn, KY. are often given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Auburn, KY. that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other more severe punishment, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
